Immersive Taming
[Solved] Unable to tame a Rock Elemental
Seems like when I shoot Sulfur bait at Rock Golems on my Ragnarok server, it doesn't interest the Golem at all. They don't leave their idle animation to eat the bait, even if it hits them and slide to the ground.

Not a bug unless you've disabled Combat taming, as they are by default a combat tame.

Odd then... because I tamed mine without combat taming. It took a LOT of sulfur bait arrows as he wasn't interesting in 40 of the 50 I shot at it... but it DID take it eventually.

Was it a Vanilla Rock Golem or modded in any way? Do you have Combat Taming disabled?

Yes... Vanilla Rock Golem. Immersive Taming is the only dino mod we're running. Max level 150. This was a 140 Rock Golem. While in rock form I hit it with a sulfur bait and it ate it. It ignored a LOT of arrows but eventually got to the point where I could hand feed it passively. No one else has had much luck on our server with either Immersive Taming or Combat Taming.

After messing around with it, it seems like I had to get the Rock Golem to aggro on me before it would acknowledge the sulfur bait - this is after I set DisableCombatTaming=true, though

Technically it wouldn't have been aggro'd when it took the bait, but that the initial aggro may have simply allowed it to un-disguise itself. In my testing, if Combat Disabled is false, simply shooting a sulfur bait within radius of a disguised Rock Elemental should cause it to un-disguise, pursue the bait, and upon eating, prevent it from disguising again.

If Combat Taming was enabled, it would have required a Rex Arm trophy first, due to it being so powerful. Once target prevention was unlocked, it would take the sulfur baits as normal.

Are you playing SP or online?

Not even sure how this could have happened. If the mod's installed and no ini options are added, there is explicit checks that if a Dino is a Combat Tame(which by default I've set Rock Elementals to be) and isn't yet being Immersive Tamed, it needs to be activated by a specified Combat Bait, which for Rock Elems is a Rex Arm Bait.

Perplexing....

I agree completely. I happened upon in the desert... there was sulfur right there, so I tried it. I KNOW it's not SUPPOSED to work, but it did.

It's a dedicated server I'm using for a community.
