Mounty

Mounty is a simple lightweight, won't know it is there unless you want to change something, addon.
It conflicts with nothing and breaks nothing.
It simply uses one macro slot.
That macro is a macro for mounting/dismounting and exiting vehicles.
Want to change to a flying form ... get another addon.
This simply operates mounts in the "Spellbook & Abilities/Mount" tab (and exits any vehicle).

Mounty works by creating and maintaining a macro that can be used to mount and dismount (includes vehicle mounts).
The Macro Icon will be the in-game icon of the mount which will be (is being) used by the macro.
Do not name another macro with the name of ten (10) blank spaces. Mounty uses this name to identify the Mounty macro.

NOTE: In a flyable area, the macro will only show the flying mounts (normal and shift). Right-Clicking will use the riding mounts (normal and shift). See "THE MACRO" below for usage. In Vashj'ir, the macro will show the Seahorse mount (normal) and Flying mount (normal) when pressing the shift key. The Shift Flying mount is not used. Right-clicking in Vashj'ir will use the riding mounts normally. If there seems to be a problem with the macro, type /mty to reset it.

USING THE MACRO:

If you are NOT mounted, clicking on the macro will:

LEFT CLICK : Mount the selected flying mount (if it is usable) or else the selected riding (non-flying) mount.
RIGHT CLICK : Mount the selected riding (non-flying) mount. (Vehicle mounts are included.)
*Holding down the Alt key while using the macro, will behave the same as a RIGHT CLICK.

If you ARE mounted:

SafeFly <ON>
LEFT CLICK: Dismounts if riding, the macro will not dismount while flying unless it is right clicked.
RIGHT CLICK: Forces dismounting, even when flying.
*Holding down the Alt key while using the macro, will behave the same as a RIGHT CLICK.
Clicking the macro will EXIT ANY VEHICLE occupied by the player. There is no SafeFly for flying vehicle mounts.

SafeFly <OFF>
Clicking the macro will dismount the player from his mount or EXIT ANY VEHICLE occupied by the player.

SLASH COMMANDS:
/mty - Shows Mounty Status, Refreshes the Mounty Macro, and shows Options/Help.
/mounty - same as /mty.
/mty enable - Enables Mounty (for the current character).
/mty disable - Disables Mounty (for the current character).
/mty char - Uses the perCharacter macro tab for the Mounty Macro.
/mty gen - (default) Uses the General macro tab for the Mounty Macro.
/mty safe - Toggles "SafeFly" on and off. SafeFly on requires a right-click to dismount when flying.
/mty set fly - Selects the currently used mount as flying for the Mounty Macro. (Mounty will ask for this addition when needed.)
/mty set ride - Selects the currently used mount as riding for the Mounty Macro. (Mounty will ask for this addition when needed.)
*Holding down [Shift] while pressing [Enter] on /mty set, will set the <Shift> mounts.

The Macro may be created and maintained in the General Macro list, or in the perCharacter Macro List.
Since Mounty will change and maintain the macro for each character, the macro need not be kept "per character" list.
Using the General Macro List will take one macro slot for all of your characters, instead of one for each of them.
Mounty will maintain the macro under the General Tab by default.

CHANGING MACRO TABS:
To change the location of the Mounty Macro, use the following commands:
/mty char - Uses the perCharacter macro tab for the Mounty Macro.
/mty gen - (Default) Uses the General macro tab for the Mounty Macro.
Mounty will disable itself if there is no room for the Mounty Macro (it will change to General or perCharacter to find space).

ENABLING AND DISABLING:
Mounty works by creating and maintaining a Macro for mounting and dismounting.
Mounty can be disabled and enabled by following the slash commands:
/mty disable - disables Mounty
/mty enable - enables Mounty

TO SELECT A MOUNT:
Initially, Mounty will automatically fill in macro mounts from your list of mounts.
The player then must select a riding and a flying mount.
To select a mount, see the option "Set a MOUNT" below.

To SET a MOUNT for use by the macro:
Mount the selected mount (riding or flying) and then enter following slash command:
/mty ride - Selects the currently used riding mount for the Mounty Macro.
/mty fly - Selects the currently used flying mount for the Mounty Macro.
To set a mount as the Shift Mount, use the procedure above, but hold down the Shift Key when pressing Enter.

SPECIAL USES:
In the undersea world of VASHJ'IR:
if you have the Abbysal Seahorse mount, Mounty will mount the Abbysal Seahorse on a left click,
And try to mount the normal flying mount on a Shift-Click.
The right click function will still mount your riding mounts (Yes, you can ride in the undersea world).
