Does attack this target not work?

[Senkoau]

I've a raptor following a carno and I want it to attack targets while I stay back but nothing I've tried seems to get a response

I've tried

1) Press . and the raptor stands there.
2) Rebind to ` and the raptor stands there.
3) Spam the command and the raptor stands there.
4) Get closer and further away the raptor stands there.
5) Tried it on Lystosaurus, dodos an a trike raptor stand there.
6) Make a tame group and put raptors in there it just stands there.
7) Used cheat codes to spam in a spyglass and spam the command while looking through it. Raptor still stands there.

Nothigng has worked, is the attack this target whistle not working or am I missing something simple?

Make sure you have no taming group set, or that the taming group set is the one the raptor is in, then verify that his attack stance is attack my target. The second part shouldn't be needed as even passive dinos should switch when whistled but off the top of my head, those two things are the only thing I can think would effect it.

Are you seeing a red circle and arrow or line when attempting to get the raptor to attack a target? If no, you aren't actually whistling them to attack anything. It could also just be a bug, although it works for myself so probably not the last option.

I've tried both no group and taming group 1 (with raptors and carnos added as a class) nothing. When I press the button I see a crosshair, when I release it I hear a whistle but nothing red (circle, arrow or line).

That would be the issue then. The hit boxes are pretty wonky, try aiming at your intended targets feet, or around different parts of their body in general, while spamming the whistle. When a target is whistled, you will see the red circle with a line (or arrow whatever you call it). Otherwise you will hear the whistle but not see the red circle and line. This means no target was selected to attack.

I hope WC improves the hit boxes, but honestly with Ark 2 on the horizon, I don't see that being a priority.

Hmm I tried that with the trike spamed it all around the thing including the feat nothing happened. Not planning on buying ark 2 given the issues here and their handling of atlas.

This is an even bigger pain with Amphibious tames, Baryonyx is the worst.

I don't like the sound of that

I can't speak on this issue a lot. The only reason I know hit boxes are messed up is from not gaining torpor damage when seeing blood. As far as whistling goes, I have no trouble getting my dinos to attack targets.

It makes sense however, that the hitboxes being messed up would cause this.

So if you are on a Bary on land they tend to ignore the attack command even if you see the big red arrow pop up, sometimes its delayed. The Shadowmanes are the reverse, attack things on land just fine with the whistle, but under water they flat out ignore it, or its delayed.

Getting the Whistle to work takes alot of luck somedays, I try to aim for the heads when i am using this.

Well I'll keep trying till something eats Bad Trade I guess. Shouldn't be long if past history this game is anything to go by.

Delete all groups, will works, i had the same issue for 3 years i played without ability of whistling, then i deleted all groups and now i am fine, all works.

Deleted everyone in the groups which seemed to be all I can do, didn't work. Whistling on a dilophosaur and Trike heads, feat, close enough to see their name. Nothing till they were actively gnawing on my face/charging me into the water.

Not delete everyone in the group, but groups, completely delete groups from the list, should work and if will work make new groups if you need them, but i suggest you to dont create them

ignore group whistles ? checked that one ? it is off by default but ya never know.
I do set unused dinos to it , just to avoid the j key fiasco inside base.
do not spam commands, groups need some time to react and follow, sometimes it can get whaky by to many changes quick.
Try if other commands work.
does attack this target even works if he's on follow others ?
