I WANT TO PET OTHER PEOPLES CATS!

[(XBOX)Vamma Takayn]

like seriously! incase you dont get it. if someone brings a cat to the dojo, poe, vallis orbis, my orbiter i want to be able to pet thier cat, kurburrow, senteniel what ever. like i can pet my own cat in my orbiter, espeacially if they can come to my orbiter let the people be able to use the b button to pet the dang cat! comment with your thoughts plz.

No, you can't touch my cat.

[Lordmotav]

She would bite your hands off.

Your request might be fairly hard to introduce. The last time I used my kavat "Totally worth it" he would fall through the floor whenever he opened a locker on Jupiter. This isn't that much of a problem right now because.. Well your pets aren't you. When your pet falls through the floor they just auto teleport right back to you.

Even if they fall through the floor and remain stuck you can often get them back just by moving away and reaching a certain distance.

With you however its not so simple (from my personal experience anyway.) You often have to use the unstuck feature by using the "/unstuck command." Even then it doesn't always reset me properly and I have still ended up in a wall or the floor.

Now granted all of this wouldn't be that bad if it was just for your orbiter or dojo. You can't gain any rewards there so nothing is lost. But having to disconnect becuase you tried to pet someones cat,and it sent you through the floor could be infuriating when it comes to the Plains of Eidolon. I would hate to loose all the fish I caught to a simple pat on the head of someone else's pet.

 

Also DE would have to somehow find a way to put the patting scripts and that line of code in the dojo and the entire Plains of Eidolon map. TLDR I don't think it could be done easily and it would be really complicated.

If(!inMission && inSafeZone && (GetTarget.class == Companion)){

if(getAction.Interact){ Pet(TargetPet) }

}

Simply have this on the player script and have Dojo, Fortuna, Cetus, etc (a place where you don't fight but can interact with other players) and are near someone's pet; press 'x' (by default) to pet them; DONE. you can also edit this to make it you have to look at the pet as well as be near it so you don't keep petting kavats instead of interacting with something else.

Not that hard.

Ok. So you just convinced me that its waaaay easier than I though to make the pets patable (Or would that be petable?) But I'm still hesitant with this whole idea being introduced because of the mass amount of bugs it could spawn. Players becoming stuck in place after patting someones pet, falling through the floor for some reason and maybe even host migrations due to crashes.

If this turned out not to be the case though, then sign me up! I would love to have another reason to take my pets in missions other than their combat skills and locker opening skills. Although I don't know how many people would want to pat my Helminth charger Ashes. She's kinda slimy :3

We can limit the amount of bugs by simply making the petting action be an animation that doesn't change the positions/states/whatever of the player an pet and it just prevents the player from pressing/interacting with the game until the animation is finished. This way the risk of the player suddenly falling through the floor or being stuck in place after petting is minuscule and the most likely causes of these bugs would be in the animation or in the line of code re-enabling the player to interact with the game after the petting.

My Helminth Charger is not housebroken yet

[VorticoseLine]

I didn't know I needed this. 

[(PSN)XxDarkyanxX]

I didn't know I was so personally attached to my ugly mutated ball of non-fur that I'd feel so deeply attacked by the ability of another player to pet it.

Guess you learn something new everyday.

[(XBOX)Whippngirl]

I just wanted to say thank you, for this thread. I’d been browsing a different forum, full of complaints, whining, and horrendous grammar. Popped over here to the WF forum, to feed off some hype for Fortuna, and the first thread title I saw, was this one. I full on, out loud, had a good laugh.

I’ve wanted to pet the companions of friends and teammates, ever since they became a thing. For some reason, your thread title, and the timing of my seeing it, just made my evening. 

[(PSN)robotwars7]

no reason why we shouldn't be able to touch other people's pu- cats, I mean cats.

[DerGreif2]

I hope we can pat our MOAs also...

I feel the same way about my Helminth Charger.

What...even if they're infect...I mean Infested? 

 

[pig666eon]

[Myscho]

Quoting MC Hammer "you cant touch this"

[evilChair]

nobody touches !horny! and keeps both hands.

[(XBOX)Vamma Takayn]

not to sound sick, or in anyway sympathize with the helmith, but how is your helmith charger suppose to full fill the fullest extent of its existense if the infected thing cant help spread its aids (neck cyst). just saying.....

[EquinoxPrime]

Can we pet Operators instead? Asking for a friend.

I heard you are not supposed to touch other peoples dogs in case they might like you and run away with you. source: Karl Pilkington

Not a bad idea! I like where this discussion is headed and the idea of letting random pussies
