So everything working as it should once loaded for that session but
-error on line8 with the initialize function not saving nil value after reload/relog
-and the fact it isnt saving and have to re-set user after reload/relog which is likly what the error is saying.

heres where im at so far:

RidinDirty = {}
 
RidinDirty.svName = "RidinDirtyVars" --name of the SV table.

RidinDirty.savedVariables = {} --empty SV table of my addon

function RidinDirty.Initialize()
RidinDirty.savedVariables = ZO_SavedVariables:NewAccountWide(RidinDirty.svName, RidinDirty.variableVersion, GetWorldName(), nil, nil)
end

--EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("RidinDirty", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)

local function OnAddOnLoaded(eventCode, addOnName)
    if (addOnName ~= "RidinDirty") then return end
	EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("RidinDirty", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)
	ZO_CreateStringId("SI_BINDING_NAME_MOUNT_OWNER", "Mount Owner")
	ZO_CreateStringId("SI_BINDING_NAME_SAVE_MOUNT_OWNER", "Save Mount Owner")
	EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("RidinDirty", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)
	d("ON_LOADED")
	RidinDirty.Initialize()
end
 
--Define the function to save the target displayname below the retilce to the SavedVariables
function RidinDirty.SaveMountOwner()
   local displayNameToTaxiWith = GetUnitDisplayName("reticleover")
   if displayNameToTaxiWith == nil or displayNameToTaxiWith == "" then return end
   
   RidinDirty.savedVariables.lastMountOwner = displayNameToTaxiWith
   d("Saving Owner")
end
 
--Define the function to Mount with the last saved target
function RidinDirty.MountWithSavedOwner()
   local lastMountOwner = RidinDirty.savedVariables.lastMountOwner
   if lastMountOwner  == nil or lastMountOwner  == "" then return end
   
   UseMountAsPassenger(lastMountOwner )
   d("Mounting Owner")
end

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("RidinDirty", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, OnAddOnLoaded)
