This allows the Rider’s Animator to choose the right animations when the rider is Riding the Mount using the Stance Animator Parameter. Eg It can be the Riding Animal Idle or the Riding Wagon Idle animation.
Ignores all the Mounting and Dismounting Animations.
This is used to Identify the Default Idle Animation when the Rider is mounting the Horse when you Enable Instant Mount, so the Rider will instantly go to this animation.
Links are extremely important for the Mount System, they are the transforms for the rider be on the right spot when mounting the Horse.
Reference transform for the Rider to be child of when mounting.
The Mount Point Parameter is required. all the others are Optional and used for IK purposes

All Mount Animations are made for the horse. When using any other animal, most of the time the animations from the animal and the rider will not match properly. This section is for those custom mounts, for other animals/creatures different from the horse.
This should be Enabled for all other animals except the Horse.
Enabling this option the Rider will ignore the defaults spine rotation of the mount animations, allowing a better sync between the Rider and a custom Animal. Using this option the Spine will be always straight.
Transform used for the Point Offset Calculation.
Creates a Local Point using the Trans Ref position to Aim the Rider's Spine using IK.
Lerp value to switch between Straight Spine On and Off
Changes the Speed on the Rider's Animator to Sync with the Animal Animator. The Original Riding Animations are meant for the Horse. Only change the Speeds for other creatures.
If the Animal is on the Trot Speed Modifier: the Rider will modify his Animator Speed to have the same time of the Animal Trot Animation.
At the moment the Speed multiplier must be change by brute force until you find a good match for syncing the animations. Fortunately there’s a helpful way to guess the best value for the Speed Mult.
Mount Dismount States: Allows the rider to Mount and Dismount when the animal is on an specific state (Idle, Locomotion, Jump.. etc.)
When enabled: the rider will only mount the Animal when is any of the states on the Mount Only State list.
Eg: If we have just Idle, the Rider cannot mount the animal when is moving (Locomotion) or Swimming (Swim).
When enabled: the rider will only mount the Animal when is any of the states on the Dismount Only State list.
Eg: If we have just Idle, the Rider cannot dismount the animal when is moving (Locomotion) or Swimming (Swim).
When enabled, the rider will be forced to dismount when the Animal when is any of the states on the Force Dismount State list.
Invoke the event when the rider start to mount the animal.
Invoke the event when the rider start to dismount the animal.
On Dismounted: Invoked when the Mount has an Rider Nearby. By default it has 2 listeners set by default. Using the MEvents Rider Mount UI to let the Mount Interface know that an animal can be mounted and enables the Mount Icon (The Press F to Mount)
When the Editor is on Play Mode: It will show the Internal private variables values.
This option allows this to be mountable. It will be disabled it in case the animal dies, when there’s already a Rider riding the animal, a wagon is destroyed or you can use it to temporarily block the Rider to ride the animal.
The Speeds Multiplier List correspond to the animal.. Mainly for the State.
Enable Debug on the component and 2 spheres gizmos (1 red and 1 green) will appear on the Head of the Rider to see if the Animal and Rider Animations are in Sync.
E.g.: If we have on the list, the Rider will automatically dismount when the animal dies.
