How to dismount (or mount) a unit

Have you changed the units ID? Units must have different "type" names... I think that "greek hoplite elite" is the exact name of Armoured Hoplites... But show_err should give you a message in this case.

Nope, no message.

Thanks for your help guys, I'll just experiment some more.

Now .. does that mean that I can mount my standard bearers and use them as cavalry officers??

You would need a new skeleton for a mounted standard bearer, since vanilla has none.

just use the cavalry-sword skeleton/animations after you've slightly adjusted the pivot of the standard .. it works and looks just fine ...

like;

Code:

type				roman_cavalry_standard2
skeleton			fs_dagger
skeleton_horse		fs_hc_swordsman	
skeleton_elephant	fs_forest_elephant_rider
skeleton_chariot	fs_chariot_sword
skeleton_camel		fs_hc_swordsman
indiv_range			40
texture				romans_julii, data/models_unit/textures/roman_standard2_julii.tga
texture				romans_brutii, data/models_unit/textures/roman_standard2_brutii.tga
texture				romans_scipii, data/models_unit/textures/roman_standard2_scipii.tga
texture				romans_senate, data/models_unit/textures/roman_standard2_senate.tga
model_flexi_m			data/models_unit/roman_standard_cavalry.cas, 8
model_flexi_m			data/models_unit/roman_standard_cavalry.cas, 15
model_flexi_m			data/models_unit/roman_standard_cavalry.cas, 30
model_flexi_m			data/models_unit/roman_standard_cavalry.cas, 40
model_flexi			data/models_unit/roman_standard_cavalry.cas, max
model_sprite		60.0, data/sprites/romans_julii_roman_triarii_sprite.spr
model_tri			400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5

Though this standard can again not be used by regular infantry as it would almost hold the standard as if its about to use it for combat ...
