Playerinfopopupscreen

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-09

Overview​

PlayerInfoPopup is a screen component that presents player-specific information in a tabbed interface. It supports two primary views: a player avatar panel (via PlayerAvatarPopup) and a skill tree panel (via SkillTreeWidget). It dynamically selects the content based on the player's character (e.g., default Wilson, modded characters, or no selection), and manages screen-level camera offset, pausing, and input handling. It interacts with PlayerAvatarData to fetch player profile data and integrates with the front-end UI system (TheFrontEnd, TheCamera, TheInput).

Usage example​

local screen = PlayerInfoPopup(owner, player_name, data, show_net_profile, force)
TheFrontEnd:PushScreen(screen)
