Mounting a dragon?

Post » Sat Jun 22, 2013 3:41 am

Hello everyone,

First of all, I know that a lot of people have asked about something similar, however, I can assure you that I spent hours browswing forums in search of a solution for our problem and didn't find one. :)

We wanted a dragon to get from Point A to Point B by means of AI Packages (This works great), but with the player mounted. One of our 3D artists created a dragon with a functioning saddle bone, however, everytime the AI Packages should start when the player is mounted, I get a message ("You cannot go that way."). I tried to check the "Is Flying" box in the player's race menu, as well as allowing him to fly as well via the script command.

So I saw that there are some mods with mountable, and flyable dragons. But how did they make the dragon fly with the player on it? Is that a feature that becomes enabled with Dragonborn? (We don't use that DLC).

I'd be grateful for every piece of advice! :)

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas

I attempted it a while ago and got it half working. You need the dragon race to have the Is Mount box ticked (or something like that), and i think you need to add a saddle bone to the nif file for the player to sit on.

Slow down; don't you think you ought to take the dragon to dinner first?

But seriously, the source scripts for Dragonborn are released; have you taken a look at them?
