Mounts

[kvasir]

Today I worked out a pretty good way to create a mounting ability. As I have heard people droning on about it here I would like to explain it.

Create a new ability with Metamorphosis as the base.
Make unit level required level 1.
Change duration to 0.00
Choose model of mounted unit. Change Metamorphosis unit from Evil Illidan to the mounted unit.
If you want it to be item based, create an item based on Tiny Castle (or anything else) and give it the Mount ability you just created.
Set the amount of charges to as much as you like.
One charge mounts, the next dismounts.

Hope this has been useful!

...


will this Evil Illidan be mounted on a horse... Evil Illidan + Knight's Horse.model?


=.=

or simply changing from a footman to a knight.


=.=

because... the latter is really easy as replacing.. =.=

or you could just create a special effect on a "bear" using footman as head attached and you will have your self a footman riding a bear


But this was a good idea so i will give you a +rep

it would be funny.... since the bear is just a special effect.. it won't move xD while we order the footman to move. XD

Not if it's attached:

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Triggering unit) using units\creeps\GrizzlyBear\GrizzlyBear.mdl

That will move with the unit.

So you just basically do what UndeadDragon said and make a speed bonus on the unit.

Thanks that was really useful code!

I have been thinking and I was wondering how you could get a hero to mount a riderless horse/ bear/ etc. in-game, i.e. if you want to, not for the whole game. So if you want you can get a footman to mount the bear, but when he dismounts the bear can be used by e.g. a sorceress.

make the an item...

now this item gains movement speed.


the model of the item.. should be the unit you want...(riderless watever)

now on the gain movement speed skill, add attachement.. like what undead said.

so when a unit drops the item in the ground, it will look like a riderless watever, and when you equip the thing it will make your unit with a mount.

 

[kvasir]

But how can you make the mount ability, so that when you are carrying the item the hero automatically mounts, while when you drop the item, the hero automatically dismounts?

And also how do you attach the code?

The item part is at the bottom.
The attachment code is done by triggers.
