Mounting

To mount a token:

1. Select the "rider" and the "mount" tokens.
2. Right click on the "mount" icon to bring up the token HUD.
3. Click on the horse icon (you can change this in your game).
   
   The rider will now be linked to the mount. Anywhere the mount moves, the rider follows.

Dismounting

To dismount a token from a token:

1. Right click on the "mount" to bring up the token HUD.
2. Click on the dismount icon.
   
   The rider will now be un-linked from the mount, and is free to move on their own.

Can Move Constrained

Kneel before the genius of KayelGee author of Token Attacher and thank discord for this amazing feature.

Auto Elevation [EXPERIMENTAL]

If enabled thi setting will make sure to always sync the riders elevation with the mount elevation, it can be useful for scene with the levels module

Now when you mount some flying mount with the active effect ATMU.flying = true a beauty shadow effect is applied with the module Token Magic.

NOTE: You must enable the active effect management for this to work.
