Where are custom playermodel stored ?

[Z.]

I'm trying to display a player model by using ply:GetModel() but it's only working with model such as
models/player/combine_super_soldier.mdl
If i use ply:GetModel() on non-default models like
models/shadough.mdl
the model is not found
PS : When i use ply:GetModel() it returns "models/shadough.mdl"
but i can't use it, it display an error. Other models works fine

Are you sure the model exists on your client?

I downloaded the model on the workshop as an addon, if i run ply:GetModel() it returns this path, and since i'm printing it from a clientside script it should exists ? I don't see it as an error ingame, i'm trying to apply it to a DModelPanel using SetModel(ply:GetModel())

If you don't see it as an error in-game, then what's the issue?

The issue is i see it as an error if i use the path in SetModel() ^^'
