Horizontally flipping PlayerModel object

[Eungavi]

Hi fellow forum members!

I guess title says pretty much all.
Currently trying to flip a PlayerModel object horizontally, but nothing worked out for me. Unlike 3D model, 2D portraits were super easy to flip as you just need to call :SetTexCoord(1, 0, 0, 1). However, 3D model doesn't seem to work this way as frame widgets don't have SetTexCoord function
(SetRotation didn't do a trick as well...)

Any ideas, please?

:SetFacing(radians)

Facepalm...

Was only looking at PlayerModel APIs, not the entire Model APIs

Thank you Seerah!! I'll have a go with it

Okay,

the following code:

local p1 = CreateFrame("PlayerModel", "p1", UIParent)
p1:SetSize(128, 128)
p1:SetPoint("RIGHT", UIParent, "CENTER", -64, 0)
p1:SetCamDistanceScale(1)
p1:SetPortraitZoom(1)
p1:SetPosition(0, 0, 0)
p1:ClearModel()
p1:SetUnit("player")
 
local p2 = CreateFrame("PlayerModel", "p2", UIParent)
p2:SetSize(128, 128)
p2:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "CENTER", 64, 0)
p2:SetCamDistanceScale(1)
p2:SetPortraitZoom(1)
p2:SetPosition(0, 0, 0)
p2:ClearModel()
p2:SetUnit("player")
p2:SetFacing(-(math.pi / 2))

give this result



ans seems it is complex than I thought. Guess I'll have to calculate set some values with camera as well
I actually expected something that would mirror the 3D model like the 2D model with SetTexCoord did tho...

It doesn't mirror it, it rotates it on the vertical axis. If the character model isn't exactly centered on the axis, it'll look off like that.

So, is centering a 3D model on y-axis possible with provided model APIs?!

With

Model:SetPosition(Zoomin/MoveRight or Zoomout/MoveLeft, MoveLeft or MoveRight, MoveUp or MoveDown)
Model:SetFacing(Rotate Left or right)
Model:SetPortraitZoom(Zoomin and Rotate Left or Zoomout and Rotate Right) Differnt action occure once eith the full body is in frame of you've zoomed into the face as far is it can

You can do pretty much anything.

Default with PortraitZoom set to 1:

SetPosition(-0.2, 0.4, 0) --zoom out and left -0.2, move right 0.4, Up/Down 0
SetFacing(-0.9) -- rotate left -0.9
SetPortraitZoom(1) -- no change

So, there is no staright-forward way to directly mirror the portrait hm... T_T


Thank you Fizzlemizz!

You can with a 2D portrait using SetTexCoord but not with 3D. Many models are slightly differently located in the frame and different animations especially when zoomed in require different placement even between sexes not to mention races when you start playing with positioning.
