# glua-material-avatar

Simple script demonstrating how to download Steam avatars and generate a Material from them using clientside GLua.

This script is particularly stringent and applies a lot of defensive programming techniques.

Avatar images are cached for 1 day and 1 server session.

## Circle Avatars

This code could be combined with [Circles!](https://github.com/SneakySquid/Circles) to produce a textured circular avatar.

## Examples

### Basic Example

```lua

getAvatarMaterial(LocalPlayer():SteamID64(), function(mat)

	print("Downloaded", mat)

end)

```

### HUDPaint Example

```lua

local avatar, downloaded = ( Material("vgui/avatar_default") )

hook.Add("HUDPaint", "showMyAvatar", function()

	if not downloaded then

		downloaded = true

		-- NEVER call this every frame unless you are planning on DDoSing Steam.

		getAvatarMaterial(LocalPlayer():SteamID64(), function(mat)

			avatar = mat

		end)

	end

	surface.SetDrawColor(255, 255, 255)

	surface.SetMaterial(avatar)

	surface.DrawTexturedRect(50, 50, 128, 128)

end)

```

### VGUI Element Example

```lua

include("vgui-element.lua")

local avatar = vgui.Create("AvatarMaterial")

avatar:SetSize(128, 128)

avatar:SetPos(50, 200)

avatar:SetSteamID64(LocalPlayer():SteamID64())

--avatar:SetPlayer(LocalPlayer())

```
