What a handsome holy man (*makes fangirl noises)*! Absolutely beautiful, my dream came true! It took a while, but I figured out: seems like the only way to make him fly and hover (instead of swimming) is to create npc and write "set flyable, autohover always" command, and then "follow" (or "move there") to directional movement, or simply "move" to just place him in concrete spot in the air. And *boom* – all of gorgeous animations works! For my solo-rp this is more than just enough, exactly guardian/companion I needed. Neat and great work, thank you SO MUCH for your efforts! ❤️ P.S. It will also be good to have a similar model in light clothing, with open face. I'm sorry, if it sounds like request (urrrgghh, english is not my native language); I'm trying to make a suggestion in only case you have free time and wish. For example, from here: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=159703/kyrian-ascended#modelviewer:1:93536:0 or armored, but without a helmet, like this guy: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=167745/haephus
Have a nice day and joyful mood, and may luck be with you! ?
