Will the SetThingModel code work for the player?

I just tried on a whim to get the player model to change. I added a cog that would send the user0 message to the bryar pistol and made the user0 in the Bryar cog change kyle into the OneEye. It didn't work and I'm not sure why. I did declare the model in the symbols section. This left me wondering if it was possible.

You can use 'Sethingmodel()' on ANY object. Post the cog.

Than how do people change the player modelall the time? I'm confused.
my cog was similar to:
user0:
if(GetThingModel(Getlocalplayerthing())==kybike)
SetThingModel(GetLocalPlayerThing(),kyboard);
if(GetThingModel(GetLocalPlayerThing())==kyboard)
SetThingModel(GetLocalPlayerThing(),kybike);
Return;

That code looks alright. Make sure you have your models defined correctly and that the user0 message is being called. Also make sure that your player does in fact have one of the models in the first place.
