[Trigger] [REQUEST] Unit Mounts animal

[-Peper-]

Hello, i hope this is the right forum.

I want to ask, can I trigger unit like:
A peasant mount horse, the peasant model is attached to the horse.
And i want it to support Multiple units.
How?
And, if the horse play its walk anim, do the Peasant too?
Sorry, GUI noob.

The simple way is to attach a special effect:

• Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the mount of Riderless Horse 0042 <gen> using units\human\Footman\Footman.mdl

The attached unit will play it's stand animations.

Must one-by-one trigger?
I mean, i must make the trigger for every units that can mount the Horse?
No system like : Attached to the mount of Horse using model of triggering unit?

Another thing you can do it in Object Editor ?
Use Item Ability-based spell
Put the Target Attachment Point to "mount" or "chest" (mounted unit bound to be at the chest, I see the most fitting attachment point is at "chest", even for dragon)
I done this before
But I think trigger does perform better than pre-set thing as trigger can be manipulated in-game
Like when the Peasant use Mount ability, create Special Effect and destroy it bla bla bla

Create two arrays, unit type and string.

set Units[0] = Footman
set Units[1] = Rifleman
...

set Models[0] = *footman model path*
set Models[1] = *rifleman model path*
...

Then in the mount trigger

set unitType = UnitTypeOfUnitThatMounts
loop custom integer i from 0 to *max index of those arrrays*
If unitType == Units then
Remove unit
Attach effect using Models
skip remaining actions
endif

Wow thanks, that really helped.

I accidentally used 0 as the index, you should use the looping integer

You should try to put the HORSE UNDER THE FOOTMAN, because the way they told you the portraits will be the mounts's Oo Not the best thing
