Refreshing/Updating/Reloading/Spawning Portraits

[Tompete Kerman]

I'm working on a transporter room mod, and while I can beam someone from the world into my modified Mk1 Lander Can testing pod, their portrait won't register until I switch off the vessel and back. I've tried setting the Kerbal in question's state to Alive, turning their SetVisibleInPortrait to true, using the SpawnPortrait, StartReset, Awake, and Update functions of KerbalPortraitGallery, all to no avail. I have a listener KSPField for whoever's occupying the pod, and it'll register the Kerbal as in the pod, so I know that the Kerbal has made it into the part.protoModuleCrew[0] slot, for what it's worth. I know that *something* must be happening when the vessel switches back and forth that causes the KerbalPortraitGallery to repopulate, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what it is, or how to activate/call it after a teleportation. Does anyone with a better knowledge of how the KerbalPortraitGallery operates, or what all occurs on switching to a vessel, be willing to explain to me where I need to do what and how to make this "do"?
