Training your horse allows it to gain XP and increase its bonding level with you.
There are three types of training available:
MOUNTED
You must ride your horse through a series of checkpoints before the timer runs out.
The number of checkpoints and the time limit are defined in the config for each training type.
You can add obstacles to jump over or avoid along the training course.
LEADING
This works the same way as mounted training, but you are on foot, leading your horse instead of riding it.
You must guide your horse through the checkpoints before the timer expires.
Obstacles can also be added to the course.
LUNGING
Lunging is a full minigame system with two different modes:
SOFT LUNGING
This allows you to lunge your horse freely anywhere (except in restricted zones defined in the config). It's triggered through the use of horse_lunging_rope item by default.
You have access to:
3 gaits: Walk, Trot, Gallop
3 speed levels per gait: Slow, Normal, Fast
You can also:
Change direction
Make your horse jump
Change View
By default, XP is awarded if you keep lunging for a certain amount of time.
To prevent AFK abuse:
The system monitors speed changes
If no speed change occurs for 5 minutes, the minigame stops automatically
This duration can be changed in the config
HARDCORE LUNGING
This mode is triggered through training area prompts.
You have 3 gaits
A slider appears on screen:
A white ball shows the target speed
A safe zone shows where you need to stay
Your horse is represented by a horse head icon
Goal:
Match the speed of the white ball so that your horse head stays inside the safe zone.
If you leave the safe zone for too long, the minigame fails
During the session:
Speed changes will occur
Direction changes will occur
When a direction change happens:
The horse head icon flips direction
You have 3 seconds to react before the horse turns
If you press the direction prompt in time, the horse stays going the correct way
If you remain inside the safe zone until the end, the training is successful.
