Thread: Ranged Attacks and Skin Choice
I made 2 pets, both with ranged attack.
One I used a hurrton skin for, and the other I used an angler skin on. The angler could be trained by a CH to do it's ranged attack. The hurrton could not.
Maybe skin choice is more than just looks/tricks/running speed...
Hurrtons don't have ranged attacks in the wild. In fact, none of the animals that share that polygon model do (slice hound, kusak, choku). Anyone else have a similar experience?
Kaadu don't have ranged either, butmy CH-mount on has it trained.
Come to think of it, Gurreck don't have ranged either, but I have one of them trained with it as well.
The Devs need to spend one publish just fixing things....no new content, just repair work. Otherwise whos to know if this is a "skin" issue or a bug issue...
My Miniature Kimogila (bearded jax) can use a ranged attack or duke it out in melee.
the ranged attack ONLY damages the health bar - it came from a bageraset.
you can give ranged attacks to creatures that normally wouldn't have them and it gives them the option to do either. (and they don't have to waste time switching from rifle to pistol lol)
Maybe you're misunderstanding...
The hurrton and the angler have ranged attacks. I understand that the DNA I used included a ranged option, and the pets have ranged attacks as a result of this.
My issue is that the hurrton, a skin not not having ranged attacks, cannot betrained to perform its ranged attack on command, and the angler can.
Anyone else?
Lets look at 2 quick lists. If someone can check on the missing ones I'd appreciate it. I've got 2 lists, one is the list where the name sake of the skin has range, the second is where something other than the name sake with that skin has ranged attack.
Name-sake -> angler, bocatt, shear mite, squall, bagaraset, blurrg, cu pa, dune lizard, klinik andvesp
Other -> hermit spider (hermit spider queen), bolle bol (bolle bol colt), dalyrake (dalyrake matriarch), kwi (rhoa kwi guardian), merek (toxic merek battlelord), kimogila (giant dune kimogila)
It would be interesting to know if everything on these lists can use their ranged attack and if anything not on the list can't.
So far everything I've made with Ranged, regardless of what skin I put it into, can be Ranged trained. If you have a creature where this isn't the case you should "/bug" it...
