Mounting a Horse

[Andreq]

ok, im a new map maker and i need some help. For the map that i am making, i wish to have the ability to take a footmen and have him mount a riderless horse, to become a knight. I dont know how to do this so if someone could Explain it to me in detail i will be very greatfull.

Also, is there a way to set a trigger, so that when you kill a creep it will respawn later. For some reason i can only get itto respawn once...

thx for any help you can give.

I need to know the context more. I would just say give the footman an ability, and if that ability is used on a riderless horse, replace the riderless horse with a knight and delete the footman. Easiest way to do this is maybe use something like possession, which already removes the casting unit, provided the reiderless horse is not on your team.

You have to post your triggers if you want detailed help. Click on the trigger, right click on its name right above events, and click copy as text. Then paste it into your post.

I guess no one remembered the Pick up Archer, Dismount and Mount Hippogryph abilities? Or did I didn't understand anything? Wouldn't it be more simple than using triggers? :roll:

I'm gonna have to agree with Rui

Go with a modified pick up archer

Heh, I guess I was right.
Don't forget to change all these THREE abilities, otherwise it won't work.

ok i figured out the mounting horse thing, but do you guys n]know how to fix my creep problem? Also for some reason when i test the map, the computer does nothing. I dont know what i did wrong....

Its because the conmputer is not programed to do this, you would need to add trigers to order the computer to do this or add some AI for it.
