I was going to post this on the original thread, but the topic was too old. This is to help people make a copy of their player avatar in a gui. I basically took iBan's code and rewrote it for my own gui because I didn't understand how it was supposed to work. I know its probably not really needed, but it probably won't hurt to have this code up somewhere. if anyone can explain a bit for me and if i'm doing everything really wrong let me know
code to make the avatar panel in your .gui
new GuiObjectView(MetroGuiStats_Avatar) {
profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
horizSizing = "right";
vertSizing = "bottom";
position = "0 0";
extent = "185 320";
minExtent = "8 2";
visible = "1";
cameraZRot = "0";
forceFOV = "0";
lightDirection = "-0.57735 0.57735 0.77735";
lightColor = "0.600000 0.580000 0.500000 1.000000";
ambientColor = "0.400000 0.400000 0.400000 1.000000";
};code to populate the avatar (run from a client.cs)
first it clears your object then goes through your prefs to add nodes to the object
function clientcmdUpdate_Avatar()
{
//clears then adds the avatar object walking
MetroGuiStats_Avatar.setEmpty();
MetroGuiStats_Avatar.dynamicObject = "fffObject";
MetroGuiStats_Avatar.setObject(MetroGuiStats_Avatar.dynamicObject, "base/data/shapes/player/m.dts", "", 0);

MetroGuiStats_Avatar.setSequence(MetroGuiStats_Avatar.dynamicObject, 1, "run", 0.85);
