Dragon Rider

is there a way to add a effect to the unit legs instead of the chest?

After giving the SFX to the Dragon, use

Unit change (dragon) color to color of (owner of dragon)

Just to make the rider to have the same team color as the dragon...

ok so is there any way at all to add dragon to archers legs cause then wouldnt it have the archers attack?

Could you maybe just make a unit and mess with its moving height and add a sfx to the units feet such as a dragon?

Or would it just be a "frozen" dragon underneath the unit?

After some research, I have found that this method works for loads of non-flying creatures. Try the Fel Hound. It owns with a demon riding it! Another great on is Giant turtle being ridden by pretty much anything. Most hero models don't work too well for riding because the base model is larger in scale than base unit models. Also, if you want to make riding heros remember to add hero glow to the unit being ridden. You can get Cookie's hero glow pack from the DLs section.

i tried adding the dragons to the archers feet and it dint work this is the trigger i did



Speacial Effect- Creat speacial effect to (archers) (feet) using (dragon)


i dont think feet is a vaild body part or sumptin

Stop trying it, it is not possible unless you edit the model. Also if it would be possible the dragon would look ridiculous, believe me

fine fine

use 'origin' for the SFX to appear at the model's feet. What is does it create a frozen, un moving dragon at the unit's feet. It bobs as the unit walks, but like Vex said it looks ridiculous.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i did it and the archer attacks and it looks fine check it out

so did u like my Dragon Archer?

its nicely done. I can't wait to do riding hero's in my next map! This will help games like RPGs so much. No more being resricted to unit models that are riding something!

Can you explain me how you did it, it's not like I am downloading the files since I didn't come with a floppy disk to the college comp...

ok first i set the unit (u want to get mounted i used archer) hieght to 190 and made it tageted as air and the movment type air, next make trigger that says



Event - w/e u want

Conditon- w/e u want

Action- Create speacial effect attached to the (origin) of (w/e unit u want i used archer) using units (w/e air unit u want i used black dragon)


then ur done

Really? just attached to the origin? I thought that doing it would look ridiculous, sorry for thinking that, I will test it at home.
