/pet attack

[Jonalethian]

I was doing some SK on my crat since the new Pf's are way too crowded for my tastes right now...
Anyway I noticed that my crat bot was mostly just standing there, not attacking.
I traced the reason for this: doing /pet attack on a target the bot was already in combat with counted as a pet follow for the bot (not charmpet).

That is to say:
/pet attack @ mob1
:Bot "charge!" - attacks mob1
/pet attack @ mob1
:Bot "charge!" - stops attacking mob1, comes to /follow

One engineer friend tried the same thing and weirdly enough got invalid command error for the second attack command. Other Engi friend had it working normally. Wtf is going on?

[Starrfyre]

Bump for this, my Rihwen seems to have a mind of its own in a crowd of certain Aliens, something is messed up with pet aggro atm.

[Comi]

U know fc, fix one...break 3.

[Technogen]

This is actually a known bug, it keeps getting fixed then broken again by the system...


Current work around is do Pet wait, then Pet attack, this will make them reset and then attack.

/macro wait /pet wait

/macro Attack /Pet Attack

My Rihwen (During combat in new PFs) seemed to work just fine. However in Inf I did notice that it was acting a bit strange, but nothing so much that I couldn't regain control with a /pet behind, then redirecting it with either /pet guard - or - /pet attack

[Technogen]

PLEASE check where you are and do and Shift F9 and post in here, this is a really really hard to reproduce bug.

[Uaintseenme]

yes im sorry about this one folks, its been known about for like month or more but seems to be tricky to pin down, when ever i have tried to reproduce it intentionaly infront of a bug hunter, everything has been fine, like tech said, if you can give us some better details like full shift f9 details and any relevant info you can think to add, it will help.

[Starrfyre]

I've always noticed AOE effects to pull pets in pande, the spiders have always pulled it when it's on /follow, maybe something similar here?

Edit: It only happens after the pet finishes attacking something else, however.

[Starrfyre]

I just noticed an alium with an AoE DoT just made my Rihwen go nuts, I could barely control it...

[Jonalethian]

Inferno mission at Trial area

[Ophiuchus]

The Alien Scoutships in the Xan APF also cause the pet commands to reset sometimes, so the pets will run off and attack it irrespective of whether they were previously on /wait, on /follow or attacking another target.

[Gatess]

got that too in a inf mission @ cave area just yesterday, didn't knew about this thread, so no location.

[MajorOutage]

Nothing new, I've ALWAYS had to spam attack macro to make sure it went through.

[Technogen]

no major this is a new problem, what will happen is it will toggle pet attacking on and off. so if I do /pet attack once they attack, I do it again and they will stop attacking.

[Advymanks]

same problem in inf trial/cave missions =\

[MajorOutage]

no major this is a new problem, what will happen is it will toggle pet attacking on and off. so if I do /pet attack once they attack, I do it again and they will stop attacking.

Yeah, I see that now. I didn't yesterday since I usually spam attack macro 3 times anyway.


If this was intentional, REVERSE THIS YESTERDAY PLEASE.

[Technogen]

No, its not intentional its an unknown cause bug, thats what Uaint and I were saying we havnt been able to pin down what is causing it to trigger, but it seems to only be happening in instances. Why I asked nicely for people to post data in here.

[MajorOutage]

Ah, good. I guess.

Don't mind me, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

Anyway, I wasn't aware of it nor did I notice anything off at all yesterday while doing either of the new playfields. But it did happen at Tara when I checked it out just a few minutes ago.

[Means]

Nothing even remotely near these systems has been touched. Nevertheless, we'll root this and keep an eye on it.

[tentonhammer]

For my fellow pet users. One can make a macro to both wait and attack with one click.


/macro Bug /pet wait \n /pet attack

Hope this works for you.
