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 Character Frame/Pet/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.

THE MACRO:
Do not name another macro with the name of ten (10) spaces ... "          ".  Mounty uses this name to identify its 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.)

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.
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 set - Selects the currently used mount for the Mounty Macro. (Mounty knows which type it is.)
/mty safe - Toggles "SafeFly" on and off.  SafeFly on requires a right-click to dismount when flying.

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.

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

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).

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 set - Selects the currently used mount for the Mounty Macro. (Mounty knows which type it is.)
