Creature Handler Archive

i've had this dame problem before, usually getting me way dead. have not heard of a fix though

This sounds suspiciously like a terrain problem. If the pet doesn't have a clear line of sight to the target, it accepts the Attack command but then stands there doing nothing until you give it the Follow command .... if you're lucky it acknowledges that and 'resets' its attack posture.

This makes hunting with your pet in a place like Dathomir nearly impossible, especially with multiple pets. Experiment a little to see if moving to a location with a clearer look at the target (from the *pet* perspective, not yours, remember!) fixes the issue.

both particulars cited:

- line of sight

- multiple animals

as causing the problem were relevant, in my case, up until yesterday.

now a single pet with a clear LOS, has fallen into this pattern.

the planet was yavin, and after two attacks it was useless.

Not a terrain or line of sight issue. . . I've had mobs right on me, whacking away and my pet just stands there no matter how many times I tell it to attack. I usually have to store it then recall it then it is fine. Of course I don't find out it doesn't work until I am incapped. Then when I get up I store it, recall it and no problem for awhile.

I sometimes notice this happens after I give it a different command, like follow. One time I thought. . . ok. . . try getting my pet to attack first before I attack. . . unfortunately, what happens is, the exclamation mark appears over my pet and the mob. . . the mob attacks and my pet just stands there.

Really strange.

Last night I started noticing that, when my creature didn't attack after given the command to attack, it started spamming exclamation marks. In other words, exclamation marks just poured off my pet but it just stood there and died.
