Thread: Is there a secret to player drag?

It seems everytime I try to drag a player to safety, the body follows me for about 5m then its like I drop them. Is there some secret to this? For example, am I not suppose to have a weapon equiped or am I suppose to walk? Maybe this is just a bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

It's not a sticky action. They simply get pulled to whatever your location was when you issued the command. If you are moving you will have to continually reissue the command the get the body to "follow" you.

Really?..I had no idea. Any idea on what the range is?

I think it increses with your Injury Treatment skill, capping out at 20m at +100 Injury Treatment (I think, but I could be wrong on that.) And if it is skill realted it may not actually cap out at 20m in that if you have +25 clothing taking you to the full +125 cap you would presumably be able to drag 25m.

No, as a master doctor my drag range is 30m. This is less for Combat Medics, on Chilastra I am a MCM with doctor 0444 and my drag range if memory serves is about 21.4m (or was it 24m?).

I don't know what skill mod it's related to. But it's probably not injury treatment.

Oh, well if it's a Doc skill that appears to increase it then it's probably Wound Treatment.

(Shows just how often I use /drag, doesn't it? )

I would suggest setting up a revive macrothat drags and revives:


/dragIncap;

/revive


The result is you can "revive" someone from your drag distance. I find they typically are dragged about 4 to 5 meters before being magically revived.


(This is not a bad reason to modify revive to work at drag distance, btw.)
