Making a character that can ride beefalo bareback

[FlamingTribble]

I'm trying to make a character that is able to ride beefalo without needing a saddle. She would have the same speed as the basic saddle. One way I can think to do this is to change the states of local beefalo to 'saddled,' but I don't know how to local local creatures. This would also add the side effect of other players being able to mount the beefalo as well. Anyone have an idea for this?

could you just have saddles be transperent to give the look of bareback without having to do a lot of extra stuff? that is what was done officially with wes and the oar

rideable = function(inst, doer, actions, right)
            if right and inst:HasTag("rideable") and 
               (not inst:HasTag("dogrider_only") or 
               (inst:HasTag("dogrider_only") and doer:HasTag("dogrider"))) then
                
                local rider = doer.replica.rider
                if rider ~= nil and not rider:IsRiding() then
                    table.insert(actions, ACTIONS.MOUNT)
                end
            end
        end,

I believe you'll need to add on to this component action, currently Beefalos are only rideable if they have the rideable tag, aka have a saddle. What you can try doing is, giving your character a special tag, and if the player has that tag they'll be able to mount the beefalo whether or not the beefalo has a saddle. I'm sure there's more you need to do but this is a start.

What do you mean? Wes looks the same as any other character when rowing with an oar.

Oh, I did not know that about SW. Yeah he uses an oar in DST the same as everybody else.
