Help with models

[Sweetsour]

Hey everyone!

I seem to having some strange issues with some models in my addon. The following picture shows the models being used. I should add that I don't have too much knowledge with models, seeing as there's little documentation online; at least that I've found.



The top three circular models appear when I use the Stormkeeper ability (Shaman spell with 3 charges). Also, when Maelstrom (Shaman resource type) reaches a certain threshold, the bar gets a lightning model applied it. Sometimes during combat, the models stop appearing until I reload the UI.

This is my code for the frames.

Maelstrom Bar

SSA.MaelstromBarEnh = CreateFrame("StatusBar","MaelstromBarEnh",AuraGroup);
local MaelstromBar = SSA.MaelstromBarEnh;
 
MaelstromBar:SetStatusBarTexture("Interface\\addons\\ShamanAuras\\media\\statusbar\\fifths");
MaelstromBar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false);
MaelstromBar:GetStatusBarTexture():SetVertTile(false);
MaelstromBar:SetPoint("CENTER",AuraGroup,"CENTER",0,-139);
MaelstromBar:SetWidth(260);
MaelstromBar:SetHeight(21);
MaelstromBar:SetFrameStrata("LOW");
MaelstromBar:SetStatusBarColor(0,0.5,1);
MaelstromBar:SetAlpha(0);
 
MaelstromBar.bg = MaelstromBar:CreateTexture(nil,"BACKGROUND");
MaelstromBar.bg:SetTexture("Interface\\TargetingFrame\\UI-StatusBar");
MaelstromBar.bg:SetAllPoints(true);
MaelstromBar.bg:SetVertexColor(0,0,0);
MaelstromBar.bg:SetAlpha(0.5);
 
MaelstromBar.text = MaelstromBar:CreateFontString(nil, "HIGH", "GameFontHighlightLarge");
MaelstromBar.text:SetPoint("CENTER",MaelstromBar,"CENTER",0,0);
MaelstromBar.text:SetFont("Fonts\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 12);
MaelstromBar.text:SetTextColor(1,1,1,1);
 
MaelstromBar.Lightning = CreateFrame("PlayerModel","MaelstromBarEnhLightning",MaelstromBar);
MaelstromBar.Lightning:SetModel("SPELLS/LIGHTNING_AREA_DISC_STATE.m2");
MaelstromBar.Lightning:SetFrameStrata("MEDIUM");
MaelstromBar.Lightning:SetPosition(0,0,-2);
MaelstromBar.Lightning:SetAllPoints(MaelstromBar);
MaelstromBar.Lightning:SetAlpha(0);

Stormkeeper Lightning Charges

local StormkeeperCharges = CreateFrame("Frame","StormkeeperChargeGrp",AuraGroup);
StormkeeperCharges:SetFrameStrata(bg);
StormkeeperCharges:SetWidth(260);
StormkeeperCharges:SetHeight(50);
StormkeeperCharges:SetPoint("CENTER",AuraGroup,"CENTER",0,-110);
StormkeeperCharges:Show();
 
for i=1,3 do
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i] = CreateFrame("Frame","StormkeeperCharge"..i,StormkeeperCharges);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i]:SetWidth(100);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i]:SetHeight(100);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i]:SetPoint("CENTER",StormkeeperCharges,"LEFT",30,-3);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i]:SetAlpha(0);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i]:Show();
 
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i].Lightning = CreateFrame("PlayerModel","StormkeeperCharge"..i.."_Lightning",StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i]);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i].Lightning:SetModel("spells/Monk_chiblast_precast.m2");
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i].Lightning:SetPosition(0,0,0);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i].Lightning:SetAllPoints(StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i]);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i].Lightning:SetAlpha(1);
    StormkeeperCharges["Charge"..i].Lightning:SetSequence(37);
end

So I discovered that hiding then showing my UI (by pressing Alt+Z), will cause my World Scale values to nil. Then when I try to reload UI, the game crashes. Anyone have any idea why this could be happening?

Spell icons gets perma hidden with alt+z sadly, this bug is in the game since ages the weird part any other model works just fine. I reported the issue years ago, yet we still waiting on a fix.

Wow, well that's next level unfortunate, lol. Thanks for the info!

local Redraw = function(self)
    if not self.model_path then return end

    if type(self.model_path) == "number" then
        self:SetDisplayInfo(self.model_path)
    else
        self:SetModel(self.model_path)
    end
    self:SetModelScale(self.model_scale)
    self:SetPosition(self.ox, self.oy, self.oz)
end

local ResetTransformations = function(self)
    self:SetModelScale(1)
    self:SetPosition(0,0,0)
end

f.playermodel:SetScript("OnHide", ResetTransformations)
f.playermodel:SetScript("OnShow", Redraw)
f.playermodel.Redraw = Redraw
f.playermodel.ResetTransformations = ResetTransformations

Here's a workaround for this bug

Thanks! I'm going to try and implement this as soon as I can. This will help immensely if I can get it to work!

[Sweetsour]

It worked! Thanks again!
