Animal Copainions not responding to orders

Post by Katze » Fri Oct 24, 2014 10:56 pm

ive noticed that with the new script, animal companions now and then will ignore the attack command. They ill juswt sit there and do nothing, even when attacked.
Whatever action one takes IG, con be explained by something logical.

I've been noticing the lack of response as I tried all the options a number of times: the quick key command, right click attack nearest AND guard me.... he finally responded on guard me but only because I had been hit at that point i think.

It was working nicely with Rat companion. As a matter of fact I had a tough time keeping the animal in check, as it was too eager to run off attacking.

Lag-related?

the attack command works, the problem is that their version of attacking is sitting there using up all their abillities. Fey will cast see invis until they use it up.

The orders they dont respond to are the "stay put" orders. no matter how hard you try, no matter how far away you park the familiars, once battle starts, they always rush towards you and draw attacks to your caster, thus leaving the only option to leave them unsummoned. What good are they doing you then? none.

would be nice if we could get summons/animal companions/familars etc to be like the golums, you can toggle spell casting so they just attack instead of use spells

Possible lag relaged. I menaged to control perfectly a familiar, a summon and a golem at same time, but the server wasn't full.
The only time a summon didn't obey well was with the boar companions but the server had 30+ people.
I woudl ask for those with summons or companions order issues, to post what kind of pet they have, so I can see if there is a pattern. :)

Also, try to enter the dialog with your familiar and tell it to change what it's doing: asks to stay away form you and see if works better.
