Automating vet
Automating vet
Here's a way I've heard of, but it work for me
1. Line up your vet next to the animal
2. Have someone else start attacking the animal
3. Have the vet (or another toon other than the attacker) cast invis on the attacker
4. the Attacker will become visible, but he will still be attacking the animal, which will not attack him back
5. Have your vet heal the animal while it's taking damage
But, this didn't work for me. I used a Gorilla, and step 4 didn't work out the same way. The animal stopped attacking him for like 5 or 6 seconds after he became visible, but then it started attacking him again. But, the other night, I had two characters attacking a grizzly bear and was able to heal them for hours while they attacked it, after they'd been invis'd the bear didn't attack them anymore.

Re: Automating vet
I just used the same method to macro melee skills. The animal or npc will resume fighting back unless they're controlled by the attacker. Try transferring the animal, say all guard me so the animal goes grey, then attack, then invis....should work.

Re: Automating vet
See my RPVs. The bear is owned by wethersby, the vet, and not the attacker. It will not start attacking unless it is not fed and allowed to go wildfancy shirt wrote:I just used the same method to macro melee skills.

Re: Automating vet
Here's my macro I'm trying to make. What I'm trying to do is have it pick up a bandage from a big pile, use it, wait for the animal to be healed (or fail at the attempt) and repeat
Lift 1 (location where the pile is)
drop to (coords in backpack)
Pause 2.50 seconds
Double click [Clean bandage]
Pause 1.00 sec
Wait for Target
Absolute Target
Pause 10.00 sec
It works sometimes, but sometimes it gets stuck on wait for target, and I'll have to wait 25 seconds, why?

Re: Automating vet
Just double click the bandages off the ground. For vet the pause should be 6 seconds (6000).
Re: Automating vet
How would you put feeding into your macro, you need to do it, but once every few real time hours. Another way I could try is feed the animal until it's stuffed and it will last several more hours, I presume.Gregor De Gar wrote:See my RPVs.

Re: Automating vet
You could probably macro it by using for loops to handle the healing for an extended period and then add feeding after the loop. For example vet 100 times (10 mins) then feed then vet 100 more.
I never auto fed though... Feed em until stuffed and you'll have hours.
Or, as someone else said, get two bears, release them, and provoke them on eachother. Then they'll keep fighting until one dies, which shouldn't happen if you're healing. I'm pretty sure you'll still be able to use another char to melee them.

Re: Automating vet
Even if the animal is starving when you start you'll have hours, how many more if it's stuffed when you start the macro?You could probably macro it by using for loops to handle the healing for an extended period and then add feeding after the loop. For example vet 100 times (10 mins) then feed then vet 100 more.

Yes, only thing is it really depends on your vet and animal lore skills. You'll notice they'll start to hit each other harder, because they are gaining in tactics. So, one could kill the other if you're not careful/fail to heal it too many times.Or, as someone else said, get two bears, release them, and provoke them on eachother.
