Search results for 'minions controlling combat orders'


Keywords are:  'minions controlling combat orders'

Most animated entities are unintelligent, and are difficult to control
beyond very simple orders.  However, raised undead and some demons are
quite intelligent, and it is possible to give more detailed orders
to these.

In addition to using the 'order' command, it is possible to give these
minions general combat orders with the 'control' command.  You may
give your orderable minions the following kinds of combat orders:

control <minion_name> none    - follow but do nothing
control <minion_name> stay    - don't follow and do nothing
control <minion_name> stop    - stop fighting
control <minion_name> tank    - rescue all group members and minions
control <minion_name> protect - rescue the owner and owner's minions
control <minion_name> assist  - assist in combat
control <minion_name> consume <corpse>  - eat a corpse to regenerate

When tanking or protecting, players using the 'tanking' skill are ignored.

You can also issue group orders to all your minions at once:

control all none
control all stay
control all stop
control all tank
control all protect
control all assist
control all consume <corpse>

Note that animated creatures such as the metal construct and clay man
are always under orders to tank, and will rescue other minions unless
the other minions are also tanking.  You can always control any minion
to get it to stop fighting.
