How would i add a unit thats a calvary, because i want my ATG SPARTAN VP to be on horse
how do i do that?

**rstoner** · May 11, 2006, 05:57 PM

Hi there.

Mounting a unit on horseback is quite easy, just add cavalryman animations to a model's entry in descr_model_battle.
e.g:
type greek_hoplite_spartan_pylos
skeleton fs_spearman, fs_swordsman

Change to:

type greek_hoplite_spartan_pylos
skeleton fs_hc_spearman, fs_hc_swordsman

Then give this model to cavalry unit in export_descr_unit.

I hope this helps.

ok, understand everything but im confused on the giving the model to calvary unit
and i need to make a unit......... thats calvary im saying, plz provide guide

Either add a new cavalry unit or edit an existing one in 'export_descr_unit', like this:

type greek heavy cavalry
dictionary greek_heavy_cavalry
category cavalry
class heavy
voice_type Heavy_1
soldier greek_heavy_cavalry, 27, 0, 1

Change the 'soldier' line:

type greek heavy cavalry
dictionary greek_heavy_cavalry
category cavalry
class heavy
voice_type Heavy_1
soldier greek_hoplite_spartan_pylos, 27, 0, 1

Ok, for this example I changed greek heavy cav and added the spartan model.
You use whatever the new spartan cav entry is in your descr_model_battle.

Good luck

In descr_model_battle.txt, look for the spartan entry, adn change their skeleton line to:

skeleton fs_hc_spearman, fs_hc_swordsman

just like rstoner said.

**Spartan1015** · May 12, 2006, 05:07 AM

Ok try this;

EDU: Remove the officer line.

DMB: Only use one skeleton line, remove the others. Make sure it's this one: (skeleton fs_hc_spearman, fs_hc_swordsman)

Good luck.

You haven't got the unit using the right model entry, in edu your unit has the line:

soldier greek_hoplite_spartan_pylos

when the entry in dmb is:

type greek_hoplite_spartan_cavalry

You should change the soldier line in edu to this:

soldier greek_hoplite_spartan_cavalry
