Hi there, I’m working on a game that requires me to use InsertService to collect Accessory thumbnails and I was wondering if there was a way to make these models accessible with ImageLabels because I’d rather not have to use ViewportFrames.
Now while I know it says that the image has to be a decal (shown below,) I’ve seen other games accomplish this which makes me wonder if it’s still possible to do so.
After reading through the documentation and trying a variety of different ways to try to get it to load I’ve had no luck so far. If anyone could help me out with this I’d greatly appreciate it.
Very easy way to do this!
There’s an endpoint you can use, and you can set the ImageLabel’s Image directly to this.
The endpoint is https://www.roblox.com/asset-thumbnail/image?assetID=00000000&width=420&height=420&format=png, and you can make a function to do this for you.
local function assetIdToImage( id: number )
return string.format( "https://www.roblox.com/asset-thumbnail/image?assetID=%.f&width=420&height=420&format=png", id )
end
imageLabel.Image = assetIdToImage( 00000000 ) -- the asset id
there’s a few more thumbnail sizes than they advertise in the table on that page too. take a look at the “size” drop-down on this page of the thumbnail API docs:
note that not all sizes are guaranteed to work with every asset type. just play around bc it’s going to be a bit of trial and error
you can combine it with the function suggested above to make it easier to reuse across scripts. add a second parameter if you want to enable an optional thumbnail size too:
local function assetIdToImage(id: number, width: number, height: number): string
width = width or 420
height = height or width
return string.format("rbxthumb://type=Asset&id=%.f&w=%.f&h=%.f", id, width, height)
end
imageLabel.Image = assetIdToImage(1818) -- asset 1818, w420 (default), h420 (default)
imageLabel.Image = assetIdToImage(1818, 768, 432) -- w768, h432
imageLabel.Image = assetIdToImage(1818, 720) -- w720, h720
