[Info Needed] NPC Pet Menu

11/11/2016 3:30 AM
Title: Can't access pet menu
Reproduction Rate: Varies
Blocker? No
Details: It seems if the pets name is showing, it operates normally and I can interact with it and get both context menus (follow, rename, etc. and the permissions menu) but if the name does not show, all I can access is the permissions menu. What is strange is that when I as on a few hours ago, the same thing happened, but with different pets.
Steps to Reproduce: If pet has no name, you cant access the 'follow, teleport, rename..' menu. If there is name, then both menus are available

Can you show me an example or what you mean by "showing their name"?

 

Ok. See how Peters Name is visible above him? I can call up his context menu and manipulate him. Beside him is Tabitha. But no name, so I can only bring up the permissions menu. When I first put this in a few hours ago, it was 'mini-me' he small automatron that had no name. Now, in this scene, he is back to normal and it is Tabitha that I cannot manipulate.

 

The issue here is between right clicking on the invisible placement square of the NPC. It will stay on the ground at the location they spawned. That's where you will acquire the permissions window. Right clicking on the NPC themselves will bring up the context window. it's possible the NPCs without nam,es just haven't loaded in properly yet.

 

Yes. I have no problem getting the permissions window, but if the NPC is nameless, I cannot get the context window. I just went back to the house and now its the mini-me automaton that does not have a name and cannot be accessed.

 

Ok. I picked up some pets, put down some others and ended up with three that had no names and could not be interacted with. So I left the scene, and when I came back, once again I could interact with four out of five of the pets.

 

We're observing what looks like long delays in fully loading NPCs on lots. Bug submitted.
