EDK Summons not Attacking

Post by BronxFury »

Description
==========
Oftentimes, the EDK summons will get stuck in the animation as if they're preparing to attack, but never do.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
Summon a Dragon using the EDK feat. Either set to Attack Nearest or use the Associate Tool to command an attack.

Expected result
-----------------------
Dragon will target and attack the target.

Actual result
-------------------
Dragon will use it's cooldown ability (Greater Spell Breach for most) but then only start the process of attacking without ever actually finishing it.

Screenshot(s)
--------------------

Misc Notes
----------------
This has been tested on all Dragon streams besides Dracolich. All seem to suffer from this. Though it's inconsistent. It also seems to be more consistent against targets that are affected by it's Fear Aura.

Which Server(s)?
------------------------
All.

Gaming Platform(s)?
------------------------------
PC.

Can confirm this, all dragons stand around and do nothing. Includes Dracolich with testing.

IMO the EDK is overdue for a major overhaul at this point as it's both lackluster and buggy - viewtopic.php?f=37&t=34325&p=271312#p271312

Bump. EDK does nothing. It's broken.

Gentle bump on this. At the moment, it's effectively a waste of an Epic feat.

I know there's alot of other bugs needed attention, but bumping this again. Coming up on about 2 months with these summons not having actually attacked once.

Out of curiosity what were the targets for the EDK summon?

I have logged a similar bug with the Balor Summon when fighting other large models (such as dragons). Does the EDK work against smaller (say PC sized) targets?

Last I've checked the EDK AI seemed to have worked again, but the hit box clipping issue still remains - the EDK ~ALWAYS~ gets stuck while trying to attack anything giant-sized or larger.

From my own testing (YMMV) it still seems not to be working properly. Although if you let it do its own thing (I.E. Never use the Associate Tool) it'll -sometimes- attack things fine. I don't really want to get rid of the Feat so hopefully this see's a fix at some point

The problem is the dragon's hit box and weapon's reach.

Whenever fighting anything giant-sized or larger, the hit boxes collide at a distance at which the EDK's weapon is unable to connect, so it gets stuck there doing nothing.

I've tested this countless times on PGCC and Arelith live. This isn't an occassional bug, it happens every time when the EDK is pitted against something larger.
