Perhaps this might be best suited in the CH forum but i see this more as a BE issue.

So far i have created 3 BE pets that have a ranged attack yet neither of them have the option to be trained the 'Range Attack' command. Another thing is that despite teaching the pet the ability to use its special attack it never successfully uses them. Im not sure if my pet is just missing or failing to apply the effect but so far there is no text indication as to its success nor is there any status changes happening (dizzy strike/strong disease)

Anyone else having issues with BE created pet specials and ranged attacks?

My thought is that the pet must be a minimum level to successfully use an attack.

I have gotten my Level 9 (37 when grown) Squall (Ebola) with Dizzy and Med Disease to Dizzy, but he won't disease yet.

I've seen a lot of posts on the CH board that specials don't seem to work on any pet. I was able to train a GSH that I had in the ranged attack and it seemed to use it. I need to try a clone with ranged and see what happens, just haven't had much time the last week or so.

I've tried on my full grown non be pets, on my newly made be pets, and on my old be pets.....can't get any of them to listen when I tell them to do specials. Seems like it's completely broken to me. It's great that I can teach them the command......but how about them being able to comply with it?

I was concerned about this as well, but i am wondering if it works sorta like mount... where the creature has to be past a certain age (% of its growth) before it will execute the attacks
