***Code edited with code that works***

GuiPlayerView example:

new GuiPlayerView(PlayerView)
    {
        profile     = "GuiDefaultProfile";
        horizSizing = "relative";
        vertSizing  = "relative";
        position    = "100 100";
        extent      = "300 350";
        minExtent   = "8 8";
        visible     = "1";
        helpTag     = "0";
        cameraZRot  = "0";
        forceFOV    = "40";
    };

**Note, you must use full path here**

PlayerView.setmodel("control/data/shapes/player/player.dts","control/data/shapes/player/player.jpg");

I've used it in the past and here's the code which works under 1.5.2: 

new GuiPlayerView(playerview) {
                  canSaveDynamicFields = "0";
                  Profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
                  HorizSizing = "width";
                  VertSizing = "bottom";
                  Position = "0 0";
                  Extent = "170 180";
                  MinExtent = "8 2";
                  canSave = "1";
                  Visible = "1";
                  hovertime = "1000";
                  applyFilterToChildren = "1";
                  cameraZRot = "0";
                  forceFOV = "0";
               };

and then

playerview.setModel("starter.fps/data/shapes/player/chr_elf/elf.dts", "");

The only difference being that I used the full path "/starter.fps/data/etc" rather than using the "~/data/etc" not sure if that would help or not.

Well you look at that.... **Stares in amazement...***

Thanks! Who would have known you needed the full path instead of the ~ that works everywhere else?

Thanks again!!!

Where do I apply this code? What files? Thanks.

Been awhile since I've done anything with Torque; but I believe it will work in any of the gui files.

The playerView part goes in the corrosponding .cs file.

Ok now the player is like in the center of the screen. I can rotate around the character and view it, but it cut part of the head off. How do I bring it down a little? Thanks.
