(negative) Pet movement speed

Post by trikky »

Is it possible for tamed pets to have an increased movement speed?
So that me Bake Kitsune can keep up with me?

Escorts can stay with me on foot so I don't see why a fox can't :shock:

Also. Why are dead animals acting like they are stuck in a vat of molasses?

the thing with pet's speed is, that it's calculated on the bases of currentHits/TotalHits - so once your pet has only 1 hit point left, it's about 1/2 or 1/3 as fast as when at full health - when it's dead it's about like this as well.

Would be nice to have pets run faster, but the problem with live pets is, their attack and walking speed is kind of defined in one variable, so if they were to walk twice as fast, they would also kick and cast spells at double speed. And animals are already very powerful, with the breeding and the easy-to-GM-taming ... so i would leave this setback in.

Is this still in effect where a pets movement speed is in direct correlation to the pets attack speed and how does this affect human bios that use weapons (ie slow weapon versus fast weapon) and does putting a bio on a mount change the bios movement speed thus changing its attack speed? Also what is the variable mentioned that determines a pets movement/attack speed?

Yea, it's regulated with 1 variable, However the pet has a few command blocks, like
DoOrderNone();
DoOrderCome();
DoOrderFriend();
DoOrderGuard();
DoOrderAttack();

AND

public virtual bool DoOrderFollow()

in this block it could be adjusted if pet is not in warmode & if in warmode goes back to default. So really there are ways around it. I put a script forward but I don't think he has chosen to look at it .

Ok now the question is...

Does a bio use it's native unarmed weapon speed when weilding a weapon or the speed of the weapon it's weilding?
