Now with FS taming and breeding system alot of players are wanting to train up and even start small , shall I say, Animal farms.... anyway is there a way to make an npc hold on to your pets for you while alloweing them to remain mobile? ..maybe blessed or something so they will not attack and can not be attacked ..but can be like tamed pets...who will remain within the owners property..the npc holder could have a follower slot limit...even rquire feeding them cost..ect..is that insane or possible?

sure. Just assign the ControlMaster property on the creature to the npc.

hm, that's actually a really good idea. I might just have to do some thinking on that one and get back to you.. if you have not already got it working yourself.

Hey Art..
How would one go about *re-attaching a mobile to a spawner? Like this idea for instance.. If you "stabled" an animal to the stable master, the stable master took it, and reattached it to a spawner. This way the stabled pet would get its home range reassigned so it wouldn't be able to walk any farther than the spawner allowed. It could get its blessed property (or something of the sort) and theoretically be safe there until it was reclaimed by the owner.

you dont have to attach the creature to a spawner to keep it from wandering. You can just set the Home and RangeHome properties and that will keep them in a certain area.

I am not working on it as I am still a baby in scripting...just an idea I had maybe rental contracts to rent a animal overseer? he could hold say 5 followers or 6 I have no idea there, he would feed them and you could switch out which he controls for you ...just so players can show off their pets and pay for his renewl of course..and for feeding the pets daily

After thinking about it a bit.. my only concern is the amount of animals. I would think it could get out of hand (crowded) prety fast on a shard with any decent amount of players. Maybe you could limit the ones left to wander at the stable to the Bonded pets only.. or one pet per player, per stable master.. or somthing of the sort.
I dont know.
*still thinking*

Very true you could even limit the avaiblity of the contract or set the price to add more than say 2 pets....like say 5 follower slots like players have ..pretty much limit them to what they can have out? at once
or could make it where the item is only avaible via..event...or vet reward...token pruchase or even via token quest reward (xml quest of course ..smiles)
or to make it even more versitile maybe have options where each shard admin could adjust it to fit their shards..ie # followers. cost per contract and per day charges (pets care and npc)...
And yes I love the idea of bonded only as that requires they invest time and energy in the pets .....as I mentioned..could be where you could reclaim X but let the animal Controller then take over Z for you ...so you can switch out which you want to use and or display...
just thoughts
