Horse idle + reins

Post by maze »

The old Reins and ground stake was a shitty idea of mine....so better idea.

When getting off a horse it will not move for 10 secs.
Clicking a horse has an option for "graze" what will make the horse not move for 5 min's.

What this solves
-horses running away when you had to jump off them.
-horses running away when you want to attach them to a wagon.


Reins should still be added for quality of life
-Rope + metal to create
Attach reins to horse.
When clicking on reins it will now act like a rope.

To prevent exploiting
-If you are active in combat or engage in combat you will let go of the reins and will not be able to pick them back up until leaving combat.

OLD IDEA "Reins & ground stake"
Prevents the horse from moving when you get off it.

Clicking on Reins act like a rope horse can be tethered wagons.



Reduce the clicks, ideally from this--
On wagon, jump off wagon jump on horse to chase after something.
bring horse back, jump off horse, horse walks away.
Click on rope in inventory.
click horse
put rope away
walk to a spot on wagon so horse is next to it again
pull out rope
Click wagon.

to this--
With reins and stake.
Geet off wagon, jump on horse to chase after something.
bring horse back, jump off horse.
Click Reins, click wagon, go.

you should really auto leash after dismounting if you have a rope and no animal is leashed to it already

I like the reins part of this new idea. Not sure I need "graze" option if I can just grab horse by the reins when I need to move my wheelbarrow
