How to determine if player is mounted or dismounted on a horse (?)

[zdanman]

The only events that seems to fire when using a horse is OnActivate when the player mounts and dismounts....

But I need to determine if they are mounted or dismounted....

I tried to set a Property to true/false each time OnActivate is called but that is buggy because OnActivate is sometimes called multiple times when dismounting....

 

Any ideas?

You need the condition function,

 

IsRidingHorse

(The wiki page is currently blank, but the function is just a simple one that returns a boolean)

You can use states to avoid that from happening basically would look something like this.

 

auto State Mount
Event OnActivate()
	Debug.MessageBox("mounted")
	GoToState("riding")
endEvent
endState

State riding
Event OnActivate()
	Debug.Messagebox("dismount")
	GoToState("Mount")
endEvent
endState

 

This way OnActivate should only be called once while dismounting.

@Perked - Thanks for the reply but when I compile..... "IsRidingHorse() is not a function or does not exist"

 

I tried Game.IsRidingHorse() and playerRef.IsRidingHorse()

 

Both yield the same results.
