Lady,

I haven't. But ten bucks says that the milking is measured from the center of the critter, and on a biggie like a Famby, when she's up and walking, her center is going to be higher up than you are. Hence, no milky.

But that's just an idea, nothing authoritative.

i havent milked anything ever im really mad i want to milk something it always says the creatures scared or spooked or something like that

One question im a novice CH and ihave a eopie (baby) can i milk it when it grows.Can i milk any of my own creatures or do i have to milk wild creatures

Marco,

I believe that you can only milk wild creatures - not tamed ones.

Yes we were bitching about the Fambaa a couple of weeks ago. They get too far away even if lying down. My theory (along with the "hitbox" theory) is the same reason why if you dismount from a bike sometimes you get rubberbanded (backwards) or slingshotted (forwards) a few hundred meters. It's because the server thinks the object (you, a fambaa) is still moving when the client sees it as stationary. It's also why when things die or when things go prone they "slide" at times.

Even if the Fambaa is prone to your client, to the server it's still moving.

In short : it's a bug. Fambaa suck.

-Nah-

Marcobuen, you need to have maskscent up when you attempt to milk. Without it, the milking target will be spooked and you won't be able to milk it.

Also, you can't milk tamed creatures. The option doesn't come up.

Thanks so much man i figured out the mask scent thing at about 4:00 a.m. i was looking all night

Dont u guys think it would be cool to milk your own creaturers i have a baby eopie i was hoping to milk when it got older but thats just a lost cause

thanks again SioBabble

they are milkable, I don't think that's the problem. They just generate the "too far away" error message way too often.

-Nah-

the fambaa skeleton has been adjusted once already... and specific patch-notes noted this.

fambaa (and snakes, incidentally) USED to be a real pain for brawlers, because while you were LISTED as in-range, the mob could bash you... but your combat log spammed 'that target is out of range.'

while fambaa and snakes are now more easily dealt with by melee... the problem with the skeleton seems to still exist, if only for milking.

as noted above... client and server 'disagreement' over your actual location seem to compound these problems (and /dismount warps, and /kneel or /prone warps, and sitting in a chair, and... the list goes on).
