All stop follow whistle not working

[crossmr]

Okay for the last 3-4 days this whistle has been working intermittently or not at all. For example I get on a harvesting dino, whistle my rex to follow, no problem. When it's time to stop I hit U to whistle the rex to stop following (while still on the dino) it doesn't work. it still indicates he's following that dino. I get off, try again, back on again, nothing. I finally have to go over and bring up his wheel. Targeting him and pressing Y to tell a specific dino to stop following seems to work all the time. Anyone else experiencing this?

Most likely this is due to "grouping", had the exact same issue until i put the effected dino into a group.
Believe this to be a bug whereby some dinos spawn with no group and the whistle then doesnt effect them - really annoying as I almost lost a newly tamed dino as it totally ignoring "passive+follow" commands and kept wanting to fight a battle it would lose (luckily I was able to whistle in a couple of other dinos to take out the agressor but it was really close)

it probably doesn't work because you can't stop a dino from following someone/thing else without first making it follow you.
Say if your tribemate has a dino following them and you whistle for the dino to stop the dino is gonna keep following your tribemate.

I rather thing the OP accidentally set a group as a target to himself, and whistling that group.
@crossmr: press the group keys (numbers on the numeric keypad) to verify no group is selected.

That's not true at all. If you are on a dino, and whistle it to follow you, it will follow that dino. As long as you're on that same dino if you whistle all stop, it will. You don't need to make it follow you first, unless you get off the dino.

I'll double check that.

I was having a problem with group commands not responding all day. I was able to issue individual commands though.
The followed what Andromeda said in this post and it fixed my problem.

Thank go for this info. I always take the group commands out of my .ini so I don't have to deal with them. But then lost the ability to stop whistle. Thanks for pointing out the fix.
