*NOTE* This is for a mod for RotWK *NOTE*

I am stumped on how to get a nazgul to be able to mount a horse and a fellbeast on two separate buttons (like the dismounted nazgul has a horse button and a fellbeast button, the horse only dismounts, and the fellbeast only dismounts)

I know I can't use the toggle mounted specialpower twice, but I want 2 separate buttons.

If anyone can give the slightest amount of coding that would point me in the right direction, I will be grateful and most likely credit you in my mod.

(I am not a n00b or a newbie, I CAN mod and think things through )

It would help greatly to actually see coding, not just "read the articles on T3A".


Thanks

--------------SOLVED(mostly)------------------

Now that I've made it work, I would appreciate help in making the guy not say "The Nazgul is with us" whenever he dismounts from his fellbeast and I would also appreciate help getting the nazgul to be on foot when he dismounts, not on horse.

I am using the "EvilMenBlackRider" object as my base horse/foot base object.

If I can get any help with my new problem-ish, I would very much appreciate it.

I'm not a coder so i can't really give you specifics, but have a look at the Witchkking from BFME2, i'm pretty sure he two separate horse and fellbeast mounts

I'm pretty sure the witch king can only mount fellbeast in BFME2.

In RotWK, there are two different witch kings; one mounts a horse and the other mounts a fellbeast.

If I can get an idea on what to change/ add in the evilmenblackrider.ini or a new file, I will be grateful

Well, first of all: I'm sorry.
I guess I've got the code you want, but I can't give it to you while I don't have access to it myself. I just can try to help you with a description.

You can use the ToggleMount special power twice.
Set up two different powers within specialpower.ini, called e.g. "MountHorse" and "MountFellbeast". Add them to your Nazgûl's INI and define the MountedTemplates for each one. For every mounted version you also need an appropriate dismount ability.
Afterwards, create different commandbuttons for both mount abilities, and you should be done.

I know, this is very general and low detailed information, but that's the way I made my Witchking of Angmar become able to shapeshift into a swarm of crows and the shadewolf, so it does work at all. Except I forgot to tell something essential, but I don't believe so.

You're welcome.

And for the other issues:
If you want the Nazgûl to dismount on food, you should achieve this by changing the "DefaultModelConditionState" to his unmounted version.
I'm not absolutely sure how to turn off the speech event, but I assume it could be done by changing something like "EVASpeechEvent" within the spawn parameters. That's just my first thought about it, so ... I can't promise it's the key.

Thanks for the help anyways.

I am currently not worried about that now, just making new units for new models and skins. (maybe even a Southern Fiefdoms faction in a later update...)
Nertea's Southern Fiefdoms models are awesome, I have a mounted Aragorn and new Arnor knights, and I downloaded too many things to use to count .

Again, thanks for the help.
