Cyclone as mount spell?

[Sunchips]

I was thinking, the cyclone spell creates a model that sticks the target unit to it and so I wonder, can you make a mount spell this way? A modded cyclone spell that you cast on yourself (the cyclone model is switched to a horse) and so your unit appear on the back of the horse?

Well, the unit will spin around all the time and will be stunned for the duration.

Better to make the spell through triggers and special effects (or smth)

Crap :/

Well, it's the tornado buff that makes the target unit spin. Because the target unit is attached to the buff model. (As far as I know).

Maybe this wont work but you could do the following:

Set movement type of whatever unit thats supposed to be mounting to hover.

Make a horse with the locust ability.

Trigger part:

-event-
Unit uses some spell
-conditions-
free of choice
-actions-
Mby some cool special effect that blizz uses in wow so it wont look that bad while mounting.

Create a horse at the same point as triggering unit facing the same angle
set movement speed of recently created horse to same as triggering unit

set movement height of the unit thats mounting to a good looking height

-trigger2-
-event-
mounted unit is ordered to move to some point
-conditions-
-actions-
order horse to move to same point that the ordered unit is ordered to move to.

Just made this up in my head (explaining why I didnt mention what triggers to use exactly) but it might work.

EDIT: and ye you need a bundle of variables for this. Maybe a hashtable would be good if you want this MUI. And yes, there is no dismount trigger here but its just the first one in reverse. ^^

I already see problems with doing that way

Well you could use "replace" the unit with a horse using the units model as a special effect attached to the horse.
