Killed by his own Pet

[Kruzitirkn]

hi all

I am running an RUNO 2.0 Server with "Harvest System" and "Yard and Garden System".

A Player with 100 Animal Taming and 100 Animal Lore has tamed a Hiryu and used him for guarding. If the Hiryu tries to attack a Monster he cannot reach, he turns back and killed his Master.

Any suggestions, where i can begin to search the Problem?

Well the only time that a pet will attack it's master is if the player is guilded and the pet has an area attack that hits the player. Oh wait it may also happen in felucca under felucca rules. But an easy fix to this would be to take the area attack away from the creature. But there are probably different and harder ways to fix this also.

Its nothing of it. I can reproduce it.

I tamed a Dire Wolf and brought it to my House in Luna. I "stayed" it before the Houses Garden (you can leave the Garden only trough a Door). Than I say "Hiryu guard me" and released the Wolf. The Wolf attacked me, the Hiryu tried to protect me, couldn't reach the Wolf, and killed me instantly.

don't think it has to do with gardens at all

try making a "hand made" room some place, and it will probably do the same thing

it is probably using some sort of attack on the wolf
biut the attack does not hurt the wolf because of the walls (line of sight is broken)
but can hurt you

i would go through the hiryu's script and look to see how it targets its area attack, and make sure its owner is not added in, etc

I've been attacked by my own pet before if it can't reach it's target... it was however on RunUO 1.0 and previous... haven't tamed anything yet in 2.0 but I think it may have to do with something in the BaseAI.cs file somewhere.

[Scarand]

in the baseAI engine script....add a conditional statement within the AcquireFocusMob boolean foreach that checks to see if it is its master

something like this:

foreach( Mobile m in eable )
{
if ( m == m_Mobile.ControlMaster )
continue;
}

doesnt help

i put a sendmessage in and got no message, so i think, he newer reached this point.

foreach( Mobile m in eable )
m_Mobile.SendMessage( "in AcquireFocusMob" );
{
if ( m == m_Mobile.ControlMaster )
continue;
}

how can i activate this DebugSay statements?

activate Debug mode on the mobile itself. (IE Set the debug entry to true)

[Kruzitirkn]

i got it!

@Greystar: debug helps
@Scarand: you were quiet close

in baseAI.cs / AcquireFocusMob:

if( m_Mobile.ControlTarget == null || m_Mobile.ControlTarget.Deleted || !m_Mobile.ControlTarget.Alive || m_Mobile.ControlTarget.IsDeadBondedPet || !m_Mobile.InRange( m_Mobile.ControlTarget, m_Mobile.RangePerception * 2 ) )
{
	m_Mobile.FocusMob = null;
	return false;
}
else
{
	m_Mobile.FocusMob = m_Mobile.ControlTarget;
	return (m_Mobile.FocusMob != null);
}

i changed to:

if( m_Mobile.ControlTarget == null || m_Mobile.ControlTarget.Deleted || !m_Mobile.ControlTarget.Alive || m_Mobile.ControlTarget.IsDeadBondedPet || !m_Mobile.InRange( m_Mobile.ControlTarget, m_Mobile.RangePerception * 2 ) )
{
	m_Mobile.FocusMob = null;
	return false;
}
else
{
		// Let's not kill my master...
		if ( m_Mobile.ControlTarget == m_Mobile.ControlMaster )
			m_Mobile.FocusMob = null;
		else
			m_Mobile.FocusMob = m_Mobile.ControlTarget;
		return (m_Mobile.FocusMob != null);

and it works great!

thanks to all
