can dinosaurs body guard another dino ?
is there any way this is possible?
or is it just a silly idea?
or is that just attack my target? :steamfacepalm:

i would love to have a gaurd option.. also a patrol option .. and a "chain to post option

They sort of can already...dinos set to neutral will defend other tames as well as the player if they are attacked

i think OP is trying to say gaurd THIS dino as an option...
RaptorNatho Nov 18, 2016 @ 4:06am 
they will protect other tames,etc my raptor got hit by carno, my another carno helps to kill it.
RaptorNatho Nov 18, 2016 @ 4:06am 
but it has to be netural

well for me it's more hey product this dino as i'm trying to tame it so i can go off and find more food or something like that

Mount the dino your want to be defended and whistle follow to the "Guard" dino, the guard dino will follow the other dino, not you.
Set the guard dino on neutral.
Done :)

The problem is when you can't ride the dino you want to defend.

EDIT: Just saw the last post. Make another dino fight close to a tame is a bad idea, your tame can get hit easily and lose TE.

sal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nov 18, 2016 @ 4:09am 
they can

i have a walled in areas where i let about 10 beavers wander for wood collection. Each beaver has a rex on neutral on follow. Before i did this i lost a beaver per week to wild dinos. Monstly to brontos. Since the Rex Army is guarding them not a single loss happened.

Every other day one of the rexes jumps the fence but since the beaver is still inside he will rum himself against the wall until i let him in.
Strangely beavers never wandered out ...

i just did that Trex idea with my Ankylosaurus seeing he is slow and getting attacked and rather not risk him dying
little_d229 Nov 18, 2016 @ 4:28am 
actually even better got my Giga to defend it because he gets in the way alot

4 wolves/sabers ....
2 teams.

1 Passive/1 Neutral on each team. One team on each side of tame, depending on where the tame is downed.

Neutral following passive |||||| Passive |||| TAME ||||| Passive2 ||||| Neutral2 following Passive2

That's the setup i use for solotames. Usually i got pretty good wolves, so i go with Agressive instead of neutral and just rid the area.

Another setup i like using is 1 Argent on passive, 4-5 on follow on that on agressive, levelled for wrecking every living thing.

Your tame will be quite safe unless the fight is taken to it. I tend to be by the actual tame for a little time as possible, as wild dinos tend to target players first.

Just put the bodyguard on follow and neutral. Works.
little_d229 Nov 18, 2016 @ 2:40pm
