Knowing I should know this

Ok, temporarily stumped.
I want to dismount my familiar VFX when the familiar enters combat. No problem, put it in the X2_SPECIAL_COMBAT_AI_SCRIPT.

But I want to *mount* the familiar VFX when the player tells it to "Follow Me", either through the radial or in convo.
How can I catch that event without checking the GetLastAssociateCommand on a heartbeat?

Failing that, what else would be a good event to hook to put the familiar on the master's shoulder?

               The voice commands are addressed in the associate's OnConversation event: NW_CH_AC4

The specific function is in x0_inc_henai
and called
bkRespondToHenchmenShout

Adding

            if ((nMatch == ASSOCIATE_COMMAND_FOLLOWMASTER) &&  (ASSOCIATE_TYPE_FAMILIAR == GetAssociateType( OBJECT_SELF )) )
            {
               // Mount familiar
               MountFamiliarVFX(oMaster);
            }

...just before bkRespondToHenchmanShout causes a cascading "default value does not match the initializer" starting with "nHDiff" in x0_i0_anims... How? I don't declare nHDiff anywhere. Nor "nValue".

What happened?

               Look more carefully at the errors you get in that cascade. The improved compiler often catches insignificant errors in the standard includes like x0_i0_anims
