Make Cavalry Dimountable

**Goutlard** · February 10, 2011, 02:52 PM

Hello!
First of all; sorry for bad english ^^".

I'm modding my own game & I would like to know how to make cavalry not dismountable units -Like French Cuirrasiers/Ottoman Sipahis & others- dismountable.

I use DB editor, in unit_stat_land I already gave the ability "Can_Dismount", and put it to True, and it when the unit dismounts, they never move & the game bugs :/.

I looked a lot but I didn't found anything about this :s.

Did you set them as dragoons in your table?
I did this with many units and never had any problems.

Now I did and it still bugs.
Can you describe more how you make this working?
Me in details I gave to the cavalry muskets or bows, gave them the firing while moving+firing on horse back+ can dismount ability,
in the unit_tables\units set them as dragoons (category : Dragoons; Class : Dragoons) and finally gave them the mass_fire ability. I'm gonna try it with the fire by ranks ability
[Edit] It's not a problem with the mass fire/F.B.ranks abilities :/

It's most likely because you forgot to add the dismounted rank stats in units_stats_land_tables. ou need the two colums called File Spacing Dismounted and Rank Spacing Dismounted.

Where are these two columns? In main.pack and patch.pack I have found only File Spacing and Rank Spacing, not File (Rank) Spacing Dismountable. I tried to set all of horse units which I wanted to make dismountable as dragoons (Catergory and Calss columns in db - units), it's not a solution, but good way to recieve an error. Maybe there are any tutorial about this?

File (Rank) Spacing are not empty and have similar number with dragoons!
