How do you make servie towers attack?

**Kealias** · Dec 5th, 2002, 23:16:44

I've built the service towers, and tried everything I can think of, but can't get the things to attack. If anyone knows how to do this, it would be greatly apprieciated if they would post.

pretty sure its /tower attack

check the tower help though to be sure

And, as with pets, I think you have to have your chosen target selected at the time.

I couldn't get mine to attack...i guese its b/c i didn't have the target selected,but instead the tower.Are you sure they even attack?all i notice is that it gives you a AC buff...

**Kealias** · Dec 6th, 2002, 05:04:09

I'm pretty sure you can attack, I may be mistaken though. The back of the world map that came with NW says: Service towers add personal skill bonuses in combat and will attack enemies within their range.

I was testing out the towers at majestic bridge crossing with a couple friends, one of which was a agent with roots. we tried everything to get the tower to attack the bullies, even rooting (did you guess that yet :P) it right beside the tower. So either there is a command to make the tower attack or it's range is about as big as a nanobot :P

I haven't tried the solo service towers yet. But, from what I understand, after you type /tower attack, you have to also be attacking the mob for the tower to attack. From what I read, it will continue to attack each mob you attack, as long as the mob is within range of the tower.

I would think that quite a few people have tested the towers in the Beta. I wasn't in it, but it was a month long, right? All I've really heard is that they hit "like a wet noodle."

Other wise you could get a lower lvl tower to fight lower lvl players that you could not fight in pvp. Or Can you?hmmmm.

I could not find any tower command in "/help tower", but here are those I got to work:

/tower attack (selected target)
/tower guard
/tower behind (wait mode)
/tower report
/tower rename "my silly name here" (with tower selected)
/tower terminate

ql 150 towers have approximate 14m buff radius, 50-80 healing on a 4 sec tic, and about 40m weapon range.

/tower rename "Popcorn making drink mixer"

Seriously, look at them. They look like they either mix a drink, or make popcorn. Maybe they do the wash too. :P

Now I have to go try out the towers again, now that I know what to do.

Thanks for the info, Metalline!

As my guild leader pointed out..

they look most like an Imperial Probe Droid. Even sound like them a bit hehe.

I've placed a few low ones in the middle of large battles, cause they buff anyone from your faction who has NW. And in battle, we can always use a couple hundred more points in AC right?

**connall** · Dec 8th, 2002, 07:03:41

They do make an incredibly silly noise... the first time I heard one, I couldn't stop laughing.

But all things aside, i think that they are a top idea, and great fun. They have the hp of a mutilated mutant, hit like wet lettuce and have the range of a rooted MA - but what were you expecting? These things are not supposed to be Slayerdroids!

Anyway - /tower attack seems to work for me.

Hmm can you get the service towers back after you place them or are they just disposable?

**BanSioux** · Dec 9th, 2002, 16:24:24

They are disposable, at least if there is a way to pick them back up no one has figured it out yet.

**Jynne** · Dec 9th, 2002, 16:39:00

Yah, I've been toying around with 'em, and haven't been able to get them back after emplacing them.

Makes me kind of wonder why you'd want to use one that you needed to have made via trade skill processes.

**BanSioux** · Dec 9th, 2002, 16:41:43

In theory, if you could make one of a high enough ql, it would be like an added team member that doesn't leech XP or complain

**___________Evilspork** · Dec 9th, 2002, 18:36:09

Doesn't complain!?

/me dumps all his ip into aqua tradeskills so he can use service towers.

Star Wars Galaxies & Anarchy Online is going to merge into one large MMORPG when SWG comes out early next year.

Didn't you know this !?!?
This is being hyped everywhere ......

This is only the beginning !
Soon we'll have Tie Fighters patrolling the skies over Omni-1, land speeders parked outside Tir and Star Destroyers in orbit over Rubi-Ka. (*drewl* ... can't wait !!)

My fixer can not make thier tower attack
My burocrats tower can attack...
