Info regarding SetUnitSkin() function

[Uncle]

Just hoping to get some info regarding any pitfalls/tips I should know about when using this function. I saw that it removes a unit's Shadow, at least in SD mode, but I also see that you can fix it with a 0.1s Hex/Morph or with a 0s Reincarnation "instant" revive. So there's workarounds, just none of them are perfect.

Edit:
Impale resets the model back to it's original art, but the portrait and sound set remain altered. Could be useful?

There's a reason I work on jassdoc: to document such behavior for us as a first and report as bugs second.
there's another issue where unit icons are messed up when you spawn units with different skins: jassdoc/common.j at 01b311a7db3eee79e6ec61fe2abf887f7cb13656 · Luashine/jassdoc

since we know shadows are images, the two instances may be connected and have one root cause, where only the image handling is messed up.
