Mobs attacking each other on player arrival
« on: July 13, 2014, 12:18:39 am »
Picture attached.
As soon as I opened the door to a room in the 'base' below Depot A, a Dog charged one of the Muties, and was subsequently beaten to a bloody pulp (Or shot, I was busy otherwise).
If that's intended, maybe the dog should start before I come watching, but I'd take the guess that it isn't.

Interesting, I wonder what could cause that? The dogs are normally allied with the Muties (hell, the Mutant Dogs are allied with the Auto-Turrets in there...)

This doesn't normally happen. Are you sure the muties didn't accidentally shoot at the dog?

Oh, maybe burst fire?

Well, the attacked mutie didn't act before the dog.
Aside that, no idea.
I couldn't even see the dog.
Are muties and dogs different "teams"?

I think they are, because of the "pack hunting" thing.

Then it might just be possible that the upper dog moved first, and got hit by burstfire from a mutie, whereupon the dogs turned hostile to them.
I couldn't verify it because I mowed them down indiscriminately anyways.  :P
