Question on Guards

[jillmatik]

I've seen lots of threads about making guards attack mobs using faction modifications and such, but they don't relate to my problem.

If I run an orc to a guard in Greater Faydark, the guard will definitely chase the mob but I never see combat animation and the guard never does damage to the mob. If I attack the guard, the guard does do damage as set in the mindmg maxdmg fields. They just aren't doing damage when they are aggro'd from a mob nearby.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thx,
J

No clues on this?

I first tried to change the race. No go! Then I changed a guard to same faction as Lashun Novashine. He attacked and killed Fippy but would not attack other mobs. Then I noticed that if a guard was trying to attack a mob
in the area that my Lashun faction guard was then he would assist the attacking guard. So its not right but with a little experimentation its possible to fake it. After a while I had modified and "normal" guards set up at the gates that would kill any mob around.
So if I maybe make new faction entries for guards I might have something.
But remember this would all be "fake". Its supposed to work as is.

I would think factions would be ok, since the guards are actually chasing the mobs.. they're just not doing any damage.

Me too! Thats why I tried to change the race first. But didnt help. So I changed faction and by golly they worked! Man I hope I can get my server to work public..I can set this up and you can log in and see!

Factions might be the problem, i killed a orc in greater faydark and i took a faction hit to them alien looking dudes on the moon, haven't had a chance to look in to it though...

My guards just follow things around.... maybe they are trying to intimidate the mobs to death.
