For the Morphing you should try using a 'mount' code (sounds unlogical atm but i will explain)
The upgrade someone gets when having the ring is: Upgrade_RingHero
So...
If you add a code like this in the unit's code (saruman for example):

Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_UnpauseHorseToggle
		SpecialPowerTemplate		= SpecialAbilityToggleMounted
		TriggeredBy		= Upgrade_RingHero
	End

 	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_HorseToggleStarter
 		SpecialPowerTemplate	  = SpecialAbilityToggleMounted
 		UpdateModuleStartsAttack  = Yes
 		StartsPaused = Yes
 	End

	Behavior = ToggleMountedSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_HorseToggle
 		SpecialPowerTemplate	= SpecialAbilityToggleMounted
 		MountedTemplate			= IsengardSaruman_RingHero
 		UnpackTime			  = 2000
 		PreparationTime		 = 0		; none, cause we hop onto our mount in no time at all :)
 		PackTime				= 0 	; none, cause we hop onto our mount in no time at all :)
 		OpacityTarget			= .0	; How see-thru to be at peak of change
 		AwardXPForTriggering	= 0
 		IgnoreFacingCheck		= Yes
	End

And then you should give them a 'command button' named, equip ring, which then changes the hero into a ring hero!
Or you can try to make it happen automatically, ill look for a way to do that if you really want that

But that kinda doesn't make sense...Gandalf wearing one ring...he said he won't...lol

Did you come here only to spam?


Yes, having any of the triple-g's (Gandalf, Gimli, Galadriel) as ring heroes is anti-tolkien'ish, but I think the reason for having Ring Heroes is because it's a nice little thing to have, if you get the ring yourself, and it can be fun


and I have a suggestion..

Behavior = ModelConditionUpgrade ModuleTag_MorphToSuperRingHero
		TriggeredBy = Upgrade_RingHero
		AddConditionFlags = USER_1
	End

If you add that in the hero's code, it should make the hero go into the model that's defined as USER_1... You'll have to add that too of course
Do not, that for Gandalf, this can bug him up... He can't switch from USER_1 to MOUNTED, to USER_1 again.. I think he goes back to default then
So therefore, you should add a commandset upgrade to him, to remove his ability to ride a horse (which would really make him OP anyways if he's a ring-hero, and your planning on making his as strong as Sauron)

Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_CommandSetUpgrade
		TriggeredBy = Upgrade_RingHero
		CommandSet = GondorGandalfRingHero_CommandSet
	End

thanks! I am a tested this now, and after I reply here... but thanks, thanks, thanks!

If the thing lauri suggested doesnt work then you should try to do my approach, but i think Lauri's way may also work

[Lauri]

The problem with your method, is that you'll have to trigger it yourself You can't mount the "horse", but when you get the ring, you can, so to speak, and you'll have to press the button yourself And I only see that now after I wrote that, you said so yourself

Anyways, my way's automatic But I'm sure you could make yours to via LUA, but why not keep it easy?

[Ridder Geel]

Indeed, eh X-Pectron, did lauri's method work?

[Puppeteer]

I don't think that Shadowfax would allow corrupted Gandalf to ride him anyway
