Attack dogs?

Post by Cornflower »

I'm confused again. I bought a dog. It died and vanished. Are they supposed to do that? Or can you heal/rez them somehow?
I have a faint memory of having bought a dog once before, and it respawned after the fight, hence my confusion.

I think it's random. Based on a the roll of the dice?

It looks like the script that checks to see if the master is valid and if it isn't, then the attack dogs destroys itself.
I have re-written the code, hopefully it will behave better.

I'm not having any luck with the dogs.... I bought a dog, walked to the undead shrine, killed couple of zombies, healed the dog, went into the crypt and the dog vanished. Is that correct behaviour, or a bug? Aren't the dog supposed to follow you into another area? Or is it treated like a horse and left outside? Either way, when I got out, the dog was long gone.

On the other hand, when another dog I bought died, it revived and rejoined the fight. So that bug is fixed.

I've noticed in NWN every once in a while your summons completely disappear on transition. I'd say you got unlucky.

It's a bug where summons disappear on area transitions.

I've been losing dogs recently not on transition... just in combat

For me, they usually revive unless you click on them when they're dead.
