Mounting a Horse (Actually, Unmounting it is the problem)

Ok, so I have this little guy I want to ride a horse, right? Well, I make a Mount Horse ability (a "dummy" ability based Channel that just targets a unit, and if a horse, well, said trigger gets chugging) and an Unmount ability (that actually works both ways). When you use Mount Horse, the horse disappears, you're given the Unmount ability (which has to have an icon, sadly. I'd prefer it not; if that's possible, let me know) which is based off of Bear Form and ordered to use it immediately, turning into mister Knight in Shining Armor relatively fast.

Now the problem is whenever I UNMOUNT my horse (after riding it), the horse appears fine like I got off of it, but my knight plays the DEATH animation. Why is this? Why can't he just stand up straight after casting Unmount? Should I have to go all the way and edit this model so he has a Morph animation based off of Stand? I already went through the trouble of mounting him on a horse (through serious reskinning on the horse's part), but I'll have to edit THAT model and remove its horns...ugh.
 
lol, isnt the an ACTUAL ability for mount horse? if not base it of mount hippogryph or something, its actually trigger free mostly :p
but it always happens, happend to somone who attached a huntress and orc together, didnt ever get it fixed, i dont think.
 
Hrm? I'll try that, but it didn't seem like it covered all the features I wanted. Ah well, time to try :D

It won't work. I don't know why. Is there any particular advice for basing an ability off of Mount Hippogryph?

Anyway, I think the death animation is because the Morph animation is missing, though I could easily be wrong.
 
Unless you want it to be able to target a unit, you will have to change the base unit horse (the ability given to the swordsmen automatically makes him go to it and "get on"). Then change the unit they change into as the knight. For unmount, just do the same thing, by changing the base units as the swordsmen and horse, and give it to the knight. I made a tutorial at the end of the free trigger thread. Check it out. (Second to last post).
 
I didn't have any luck doing just that. Hrm...:(

Well, I'll check out the tutorial and see if it has anything to say about what I'm doing wrong. At the moment, I'm simultaneously advancing the story and adding some simple stuff until I can figure out the issue.

One of the things I need is that the ability MUST be reversible, though it sounds like you're pointing that out (though your trigger way is not reversible and does not account for my hero wanting to mount a horse).
 
No, actually, mounting is the now the issue. When I cast "Mount Horse" with my hero, it says "Cannot find couple target" even if said hero is right next to the dang horse.
 
Did you set the ability's couple target to the horse? Also, if it is owned by a different player you may need to change the units that are allowed (allied/players units/ground/etc.) It may be the range too, if you changed it. If you submit the map, ill fix it for you.
 
you could use mount hipogryph, give the knight that ability but change the horses model file to a riderless horse and change the tooltip and icon of mounthipogryph and requirments.
hope it helps! ;)

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.

    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though

    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
