Pets and boats

Post by Taziar » Mon Sep 07, 2020 2:38 pm

Anyway to make this work?
The City Docks
Wet and dark, the large flat stones of Tear's docks nevertheless provide a
firm footing for the dockmen to toss ropes to the sailors on the vessels
trying to dock. Dozens of small fishing vessels sway to the river's tides
just to the north, and to the east the tops of towers can be seen beyond
the wall of dark gray stone. The Chalm, the rough and muddy warehouse
district of Tear, nestles up to the wall in the foreground. Most dominant
of all is the Stone of Tear, banner flying in the wind. A faded sign stands
at an angle.

Can order pet to embark, the embark message appears, but it comes right back to the same room and doesn't get on the boat.

Think that's intended.

Same thing happens with R7 mobs.

Able to add disembark/embark commands to mob list?
Not sure if that's coding.

That would take changing mobol, which is not possible and not likely to become possible.

Mobol essentially moves people using /player rentris, and as mobs aren't players and there isn't a comparable command...

Could a dockmaster type mob be added to boat rooms that turns your pet into a stable ticket type thing, that you can redeem at the dockmaster mob at the destination?

There is no feature that will allow stabling of non-horses.

I think Nylen meant stabling the horses with the deckhand then redeeming the ticket at the other end to get the horse back. So the horse mob doesn't actually ever get on the boat?

Might be quite a lot of fiddling for a minor thing though, even if possible.

If you riding a horse it comes with you, it was just about pet/mob that you can order. Elysia confirmed that isn't possible code/mobol wise.

She meant stabling pets as if they were horses, get a ticket to redeem pet at the other port. But pets are only orderable because of shop mobol, which doesn't even work when unstabling, so it's just not something that works for pets.
