1. I am relatively new to the whole scene of writing addons so bare with me. basically I need to find a way which I can determine if the character is mounted or not mounted. I tried looking thru the events and what not, couldnt really come up with anything suitable. or either I just overlooked this.

  2. You can use the API function IsMounted. I can't tell you the events that fire when the player mounts/unmounts, but you can test this easily. Just run /eventtrace and then mount, and watch the events that scroll by and find the right one. Then unmount, and repeat.

  3. Thank you for the response, this set me on the right track, that event tracker is most useful. Big help mate!
