Mount Hippogryph ability problem

[oxxo]

anyone can help me?

whats the trick with that ability ? how do you make a say a footman mount a kodo and the resulting unit being unit x ??

because everything seems right but it dont work.

The mount hippo ability does NOT make your unit mount another unit.
It's a morph ability. When you mount your archer to the hippo they do not mount, they are deleted from the map and a hippogryph archer is placed in their place.
(or maybe one of them morphs to hippo archer and the other is deleted, but most probably the first)

And for the question how to make a footman mount a kodo to result in a third unit, well..
Open your ability editor, if I remember right this skill consists of two parts: 1.) the archer skill 2.) the hyppogryph skill. Look up both, in the parner unit field switch the archer to a footman the hyppo for a kodo and in the resulting unit field switch the HG Archer to your desired unit.
Tadamm.
Oh, don't forget to make it independent from the hippogryph training research.

Just make anothe kodo model and attach the footman on it to make it look like the footman is mounting it.

The problem with that is that will look -very- weird. Try and see for youself.

thanks for replies. i know it technically removes the units and pops in a third one.

the problem was actually that i totally forgot to make the "become mounted" ability.
thanks for the help!
