Dragon Rider

rofl, this is awesome :) Like it very much

A little edit :)

The hero now gains xp while on the Dragon!!

Xp gain will show when he drops to the ground again. Any level up is NOT shown atm, but if you have an idea how to, be my guest :)

Les make this an AWESOME spell!

EDIT: Tiny Change, made the hero pause when casting the spell, so that he can't run off...making it look really wierd :P

hehe, oops...attachment here:

[glow=strength=2,color=green]Very nice and easy! Just with the simple FX triggers, the limits are endless for us, but take a pioneer to find them or think of them and I personally would never have though to make something this kewl be this easy! ://// :D And As far as making the dragon hero go... You could change the attack points, SFX of the hero (like have it just a plain hero) and other stuff since their are so many options just alone in the normal TFTWE. Also, what about adjusting the height (movement) of a hero and add the FX of a dragon under the hero? Hmm...probably not as kewl as the others, but hey, still pretty kewl.


PS-Orb Ability with dragons, lol! WICKED roflmao try it ASAP! [/glow]

???

I don't understand how you could make the mounted archer play attack. The WC3 engine considers the archer virtually not there. Its just an attachment. Just as the orbs are.

u cant make the rider attack, so i made it a spell where u call ur pet dragon, so its not just a dragon with a special effect, the rider has a purpose.

ps- gj Zachary_Shadow nice edit

it gets a little screwy when 2 dragon riders are using there spell at the same time, but im sure it can be fixed.

anyway gj

Yeah :P lol I know :)

That is why, it should really be hero specific AND player specific. I'll take a look at it later on if I get the time. Got lots to do, but this spell is just so great :)

I think I can fix it, but it will be VERY hard to have 2 of the same hero doing the same thing...Think this is what is called...restrictions :P

Anyways, u can have 2 paladins for the same player in normal games anyways :)

You can have the rider attack if he's got a dragon SFX on his chest.

couldnt u just give the MOUNT ability... to the unit that is supost to mount the unit and the MOUNT ability to the unit that is supost to mount the object? (hipo and archer abilitys) i dont know.. it just might be for archers only and hipos only too.. but if it works. it wouldnt just be an attached effect.. the unit that mounted the object would do his/her attack animations.

im gonna try it.

*EDIT.. i just had an idea.... get the hipo and just change the model look... same with the archer.. and make the abilitys not require upgrades=) i dont know about heros though..

nm doesnt work..=(

The mount ability simply removes the Hippogriph unit and the Archer unit and makes a Hippogriph Rider unit. There is no combination of models involved.

Thanks for sharing that! I will try the thing with the rider on the dragon. I find this a nice find and I think it would be cool if someone made a map with dragon racing.

ya just noticed that.. that would own.. if it just added them both together.. but blizzard has to be gay like that

Unfortunate that there's no way to animate both models, that would rule..

And of course if you make a flying ordinary unit and attach a dragon to that, the dragon wouldn't flap it's wings or make any attempt at flying whatsoever..definately not good.

Ah well.. I'll still use this for airborne casters, and remove attacks so the dragon dosn't try to do anything. ^^

This is actually the best way of mounting people on beasts. Hippo ting, don't work at all...wierd Blizzard bug.

Actually the dragon would flap its wings oh and the models do animate its just they don't do there attack animations for attacking but like the priest does his neiling down and praying thing and they still turn there heads and stuff.
