Models

[Resike]

I'm trying to setup a model based by unit, and from file path like this:

model:SetUnit("player")
model:ClearModel()
model:RefreshUnit()
model:SetModel(whatevermodelfilehere)

However if i set the model by unit, and then try to overwrite it by a model file, the player model doesn't disappear, and there is no way i could get rid of it.
Any ideas why?

Calling RefreshUnit after ClearModel is just setting it back to what it was.

What semlar wrote. Do not use RefreshUnit after ClearModel.

This is from https://github.com/haste/oUF/blob/ma.../portraits.lua

local Update = function(self, event, unit)
    if(not unit or not UnitIsUnit(self.unit, unit)) then return end
 
    local portrait = self.Portrait
    if(portrait.PreUpdate) then portrait:PreUpdate(unit) end
 
    if(portrait:IsObjectType'Model') then
        local guid = UnitGUID(unit)
        if(not UnitExists(unit) or not UnitIsConnected(unit) or not UnitIsVisible(unit)) then
            portrait:SetCamDistanceScale(0.25)
            portrait:SetPortraitZoom(0)
            portrait:SetPosition(0,0,0.5)
            portrait:ClearModel()
            portrait:SetModel('interface\\buttons\\talktomequestionmark.m2')
            portrait.guid = nil
        elseif(portrait.guid ~= guid or event == 'UNIT_MODEL_CHANGED') then
            portrait:SetCamDistanceScale(1)
            portrait:SetPortraitZoom(1)
            portrait:SetPosition(0,0,0)
            portrait:ClearModel()
            portrait:SetUnit(unit)
            portrait.guid = guid
        end
    else
        SetPortraitTexture(portrait, unit)
    end
 
    if(portrait.PostUpdate) then
        return portrait:PostUpdate(unit)
    end
end

That does work properly.

Oh yeah i was a rtard. I was only trying to use RefreshUnit beasause the only way i can make the unit disappear if i set it to target while i has no target.

But still now working properly. Here is my code snippet:

        if (aura.model == true) then
		texture:Hide()
		model:ClearModel()
		model:SetModel(PowaAurasModels[aura.texture])
	elseif (aura.modelcustom == true) then
		texture:Hide()
		if (aura.modelcustom ~= nil and aura.modelcustom ~= "") then
			if (string.find(aura.modelcustompath, "%.m2")) then
				model:ClearModel()
				model:SetModel(aura.modelcustompath)
			elseif (string.lower(aura.modelcustompath) == "player" or string.lower(aura.modelcustompath) == "target" or string.lower(aura.modelcustompath) == "focus") then
				model:ClearModel()
				model:SetUnit(string.lower(aura.modelcustompath))
			end
	        end
        end

PowaAurasModels[aura.texture] is a table with predefinied models.

aura.modelcustompath holds a model file or units like "player", "target", "focus".

EDIT: Okay i was derping around, and it seems like if i use model:SetUnit("none") instead or model:ClearModel() that does the trick. I'm not sure thats a proper API or not tho. :P
