this may have been brought up before but here goes.

could it be possible for someone to look into room movement that does not
include normal exits. such as when you have to 'climb tree' or 'enter
trapdoor'.

example: i was in stagira in a small house i needed to 'enter trapdoor' and
kill something. the first run was fine as i was able to heel my mount to that
location as it can go indoors. however on the second run i was forced to fight
alone since i cant heel in combat and he wont come with me. more of an
aggrivation than anything as i was still able to make the kill. It just would
have been nice to have my mount there :D

thanks in advance

Mounts and special exits don't get along. This I know, this I trust, and this
doesn't need to be "fixed" because it's not broken. Most special exits that I
know of are things like "climb tree" "crawl through crack" "enter painting"
and so forth (some of you are saying "hey, I know which areas those are!" good
for you). I'll shake the hand of any horse that can do any of those.

The fact of the matter is, most "special" exits are built so that parties
can't be blindly dragged through. Mounts are _always_ blindly dragged, and as
such, don't fit. In addition, a lot of these special exits involve
teleportation or the like, which might be only one at a time (and thus, leave
your horse).

The "major" mounted guilds, knight and beastmaster, each have ways of getting
mounts past such barriers. They're there for a reason.

so can we atleast be able to heel in combat then? if there is a mob on there
other side of that type of entrance we have to fight it without our mounts
currently as beastmasters cant heel in combat.
