That setmetatable syntax has always eluded me.

How would I add a new model?

tinsert(canvas.models,1)

That way?

p.s. I do not create 50 models upfront. That was just for the example.

Additionally. In the end...does the setmetatable syntax produce a different result than this?

local m = CreateFrame("PlayerModel", nil, canvas)
    m:EnableMouse(true)
 
    m.name = "model"..id
    m.id = id
 
  function m:Reset()
    print(self.name, "resetting values")
    self:PortraitZoom(0)
  end
  
  function m:OnMouseDown(...)
    print(self.name, ...)
    self:Reset()
  end
  
  function m:OnMouseUp(...)
    print(self.name, ...)
  end
  
  m:SetScript("OnMouseDown", m.OnMouseDown)
  m:SetScript("OnMouseUp", m.OnMouseUp)

If not. Why the hassle?
