So I attack with Odric, the Captain, and one other creature. I use the Captain to put a forth attacker out, do I get to use Odric's ability, or is Odric an attack trigger and thus too late?

No, odric only triggers if you attack with three other creatures and in magic when we say attack we mean declared as an attacker and whatever you bring it isn't declared as an attacker.

Short version, ya too late.
Okay, Odric could be worded clearer but that's why I double checked.
I thought maybe I could stack the Captain's ability above Odric but was fairly sure it was too late.

Odric's ability only triggers if you attack with three other creatures, so you can't stack it above it because it won't be on the stack.
also his ability is clear, it is just in mtg things that trigger on attack has the meaning declared as an attacker.
508.2a Abilities that trigger on a creature attacking trigger only at the point the creature is declared
as an attacker. They will not trigger if a creature attacks and then that creature’s characteristics
change to match the ability’s trigger condition.
Note an exception is attacks and isn't blocked (which just requires that no blocks are declared)
edit: thanks todd not sure why i thought it was 2 other.
