» Mon Jun 18, 2012 3:20 pm Thus far, the only event that I've discovered that fires when mounting/dismounting a horse is the ObjectReference's OnActivate() event. I've painstakingly output every other Actor/ObjectReference event/property/etc that I could to the trace log, and NOTHING else seems to trigger or change when mounting or dismounting.
The problem with the OnActivate event is that it fires when the player mounts, dismounts, or even when they are prevented from dismounting because there is an obstruction (i.e. when you can't get off your horse). So there's no real way I can determine if the player is actually on the horse or not if they type "E" and get obstructed from dismounting.
My end goal is to simply make my horse "disappear/disable/delete" when the player dismounts. My original attempt was to call Self.Disable() on the horse after the second OnActivate event fired (assuming that the first was the player getting on the horse). That didn't work when the player was obstructed and prevented from dismounting - the horse would disable, vanish, and leave the player stuck, spread-eagle five feet off the ground.
My temporary solution is to wait for 3 seconds (presumably while the player dismounts), and then murder the horse. This prevents the player from getting stuck if they can't dismount, however, the end result is a very ungraceful plummet to the floor.
Has anyone found any other events or properties that can be referenced to determine if the player is mounted, or riding, or spread-eagle five feet off the ground?
EDIT:
Ok, to be fair, I searched this site for mount/dismount/riding/rideable/on horse/etc and I finally clicked my own "mount" tag I added at the top of this post and came across Imp of the Perverse's post about this same topic. I'd post a link, but apparently I'm not allowed to add links on this site since I'm so untrustworthy.
