Portrait:SetModelScale(number)

[leizeQ]

Hi.

I am trying to change the model scale of the player portrait.
i've tried to use the Portrait:PostUpdate() function but without success.

self.Portrait.PostUpdate = function(self, unit) self:SetModelScale(0.5) end

is it overwritten somewhere else?, is the SetModelScale not the right function to use? or am I missing some other stuff.

thanks.

Posting the solution is always a good idea. It potentially prevents the same question in the future and allows potentially better solutions to be posted.

so my intention was to use a portrait for the player without any border or background and placed on the bottom of the screen. but it was zoomed in too much so it was visible where are the borders of portrait frame.

so here are 2 solutions i've found/been told:

1. use Model:SetCamera(1) - this changes the whole portrait to something similar as in character screen (whole body seen), and it should be zoom-able

2. use PlayerModel:SetPortraitZoom(number)

Regarding models. It got me thinking because I refreshed my model viewer today.



To get the camera zoom to the face of a model you have to use

SetPortraitZoom = 1

To zoom out but stay focus on the face area you can then use

SetCamDistanceScale = x

The other important values are SetPosition and SetRotation. Both are pretty obvious.

I still have the worgen male problem. Gonna try sth.

*edit*

IT WORKED...lol on first try.

@haste the "SetCamera 0" settings seems to be deprecated. Try this:

I changed the portrait.lua and male worgen portraits are now fixed.

Seems like: SetPortraitZoom is the new SetCamera.

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:SetModelScale(4.25)
            portrait:SetPosition(0, 0, -1.5)
            portrait:SetModel"Interface\\Buttons\\talktomequestionmark.mdx"
        elseif(portrait.guid ~= guid or event == 'UNIT_MODEL_CHANGED') then
            portrait:SetUnit(unit)
            --portrait:SetCamera(0)
            portrait:SetPortraitZoom(1)
            portrait.guid = guid
        else
            --portrait:SetCamera(0)
            portrait:SetPortraitZoom(1)
        end
    else
        SetPortraitTexture(portrait, unit)
    end
 
    if(portrait.PostUpdate) then
        return portrait:PostUpdate(unit)
    end
end

First worgen male portrait working correctly
