PlayerModel:SetDisplayInfo

[maqjav]

Hello.

I'm testing PlayerModel:SetDisplayInfo and it seems it doesn't show the model any longer if you haven't seen the npc before. Once it's in your cache it does work as expected. Is there any new method to achieve this?

Thanks

SetDisplayInfo was added specifically to display models without requiring them to be cached; what code are you using to test this?

Hello, I was just playing with the next code:

myFrame:modelFrame = _G.CreateFrame("PlayerModel", "mxpplayermodel", myFrame)
myFrame.modelFrame:SetHeight(120)
myFrame.modelFrame:SetDisplayInfo(26711)
myFrame.modelFrame:Show()

The ID 26711 belongs to the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.

It didn't work before, but after restarting the game it started working. I've used different IDs and it seems to work only sometimes, perhaps it's a little bit buggy right now?

False alarm though

I doubt it's bugged, you probably just aren't displaying your frame correctly. The model needs a height, a width, an anchor, and a visible parent to be shown.

You only have a height listed there, no anchor and we can't tell what condition "myFrame" is in.

If you open your character pane you can just type /run CharacterModelFrame:SetDisplayInfo(26711) to test whether the function is actually functioning.

Assuming a copy & paste, your first line has a typo. You have a : where instead you should have a . like your other lines.

It might actually be bugged. I have a PlayerModel frame just for some extra effect, and if I assign the points to match the parent on creation it doesn't seem to show the model frame. Assigning the points in the show script of the parent shows the model, but I'm not entirely sure why this is happening.

Frame:HookScript("OnShow", function(self)
    self.Model:ClearAllPoints()
    self.Model:SetAllPoints()
end)

Looks from another link that getModel is now GetModelAlpha?

Got it from this

playermodel, methods, getmodel is now mapped to getModelAlpha. Doesn't make sense but neither does half the changes they are making.

No it's not. Log in on the beta and check the return values it's gonna be a number from 0-1.
