i was looking through the gothmog codes earlier and i noticed that he has a model for him on a wrag, and the coding is done for it.

so i made this command button

CommandButton Command_GothmogToggleMounted	;for Gothmog
  Command			   = SPECIAL_POWER
  SpecialPower		  = SpecialAbilityToggleMounted
  TextLabel			 = CONTROLBAR:GothmogWargMount
  Options  = TOGGLE_IMAGE_ON_WEAPONSET ON_GROUND_ONLY
  FlagsUsedForToggle = MOUNTED
  ButtonImage		   = HSTheodenWarSpeech HSTheodenWarSpeech
  ButtonBorderType	  = ACTION 
  DescriptLabel		 = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGothmogWargMount
  InPalantir			= Yes
 ;UnitSpecificSound	 = FaramirRangerVoiceModeKnightMS FaramirKnightVoiceModeRangerMS
End

and i added this to the unmounted gothmog

   LocomotorSet
  Locomotor = HeroHorseLocomotor
  Condition = SET_MOUNTED
  Speed	 = NORMAL_CAVALRY_FAST_HORDE_SPEED
 End

but when i press the button ingame, it doesnt do anything, what else do i need to do?

Although this might not be THE problem, I definitely see A problem. In the command button it says the flag used is "MOUNTED", but in the coding you have the locomotor set change for the condition "SET_MOUNTED". Also, I dion't know if you have this already but you're going to need a "ModelConditionState = MOUNTED" with his mounted model and mounted animations, which will be the name of the animation followed by "MOUNTED". Also, I little tip I learned from experience, you have to have the mounted animations first or everything gets messed up.

Hate to tell ya this, but the warg version of Gothmog is a new object, meaning you will have to do some more than that. Not sure how you can do it, but you will need to exchange objects.

Edit: The locomotor update is not needed, because it will not apply to the warg object.

2nd Edit:

This is from the CAH Word of Poultry in object\createahero\createaheropowers.inc:

Behavior = ReplaceObjectUpdate ModuleTag_WordOfPoultryUpdate_Level1
	SpecialPowerTemplate	= SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroWordOfPoultry_Level1
	//SkipContinue			= Yes

	UnpackingVariation		= 1

	UnpackTime			 	= 800
	PreparationTime			= 1   
	//PersistentPrepTime		= 1000 
	PackTime				= 100
	
	AwardXPForTriggering	= 0

			   .....
	
	ReplaceObject
		TargetObjectFilter = CREATE_A_HERO_WORD_OF_POULTRY_OBJECT_FILTER
		ReplacementObjectName = Chicken_Replacement Rabbit_Replacement Dog_Replacement Dog1_Replacement Racoon_Replacement Duck_Replacement Cow_Replacement Sheep_Replacement Crow_Replacement //GoatMale_Replacement GoatFemale_Replacement
	End
End

If you can leave out the Targetfilter, you have your solution right there. Just make a similar power and give one to each Gothmog. One with the replacementobject being the warg object, the other the unmounted Gothmog

Take a look at the witchking's mounting code and see how it changes objects when mounting him on the fellbeast. (Hint: Look at the MountedTemplate line in particular)

Indeed. I found it that when you have a hero that can go on-foot and mount a horse, you need to set 2 default model condition states, one on foot and one for mounted. Then, when putting the animations in for mounted, you have to make sure the animation states have MOUNTED (before them (can't check right now)). Faramir is a great example of this.

So, make sure the mounted codes aswell are in Gothmog's ini.

All true about a normal mount switch, but this is about switching an object, not just the animations. The object is already there, including all animations and code needed for an object, only the switch needs to be added. Best way to do that is like Lord of Gifts says, with the MountedTemplate. I knew he changed objects, just couldn't find out how, then I just thought of the word of poultry

looks like they have a new mounting system in bfme 2

looks like they have a new mounting system in bfme 2

dont confuse things

so do i still do what log said above?

[Solinx]

Never modded much of bfme 1, but as far as I remember there isn't anything changed for the units that ride on a normal horseback. I know only of the witchking to have this new feature. Maybe EA added this new MountedTemplate function in order to have more possibilities in mounts for one unit. Or at least make it easier to do, if having more than one mount was doable.

so do i still do what log said above?

Lol, yeah, do as Lord of Gifts said.

ok i know its been awhile but i have finaly got round to doing this, and he mounts fine, but when i clich dismount nothing happens, i presume i need to add something to the mounted gothmog.ini but what?

Well, you need to exchange the mounted object with the non-mounted object again, so I guess you will need to use MountedTemplate again. Only this time you must set it to "mount" the normal object.

[Stealthsnake]

ok, ill try that but i have an error,

im guessing its becuase i have behavior to many times in gothmogs.ini? if not then what?

[Tobi]

looks like you forgot an end so the behavior is part of another behavior

[Stealthsnake]

nope allready checked that, and also ive found that when i remove one of gothmogs other powers, it works!! so that points to to many behavior's in his object.ini dunt it?

[Tobi]

seems as if thats the reason.. never heard you can have too many behaviors^^
does it care which special power you remove?

[Stealthsnake]

no it doesnt mind lol

[Stealthsnake]

well ive moved the powers from gothmog unmounted to gothmog mounted so that they will work, but i gte that error up again. so i removed some uneeded behaviors like forged blade upgrade ect. but it still appears

can u see any mistakes? if not then how cna i fix this?

You have 2 Ends

[Stealthsnake]

the error comes even if the end isnt there

Do you have any more behaviors than the ones you posted?
