Rules allow you to customize what mounts are chosen based on the current situation.

Each LiteMount key binding (1-4) has a separate list of rules, which are checked when that key is pressed. Rules are managed from the Rules options panel.

Each rule has up to three conditions, and one action. The rules are checked in order and for each rule if all its conditions match and the mounts are usable now, its action is applied.

If no rules match

If no (mounting) rules match, the default actions are:

  1. If RIGHT SHIFT is held, cast the spell to toggle flight style (Skyriding or Steady Flight).
  2. If LEFT SHIFT is held exclude flying mounts (if not swimming) or aquatic mounts (if swimming).
  3. Summon a random mount of the best kind for the current situation, with priority.
  4. If you are falling, try to use a variety of spells or toys to save yourself.

Managing rules

The Rules panel shows the current list of rules for each key binding. To view the rules for a different key binding, use the drop-down menu above the rules list.

The list of rules shows the rules (if any) in the order they are checked. To change the order of rules use the up and down arrows on the right side of each rule to move that rule up or down one position.

Each rule shows the conditions (up to three) on the left side, and the action on the right side. Conditions that must match are shown in green. Conditions that must not match are shown in red. An explanation of each condition is at the end of this page.

Clicking on a rule will select it. The Edit button will edit the selected rule, the Delete button will delete the selected rule, and the Add button will add a new rule above the currently selected rule (or at the top if no rule is selected).

The Add or Edit options will bring up the Edit Rule window.

Use the drop-down menus to select the condition type and argument for up to three conditions, and the action and argument. If all three conditions are NONE the action is always applied. If the check box showing a red cross is ticked for a condition, that condition must not match (be false), otherwise the condition must match (be true).

An explanation of the possible conditions and actions is below.

Once you are happy with your rule, click the Okay button to confirm it. Otherwise click Cancel to discard it.
