Escort tag / Protect Creature

[purpledrankk]

Has anyone used the escort tag yet? Can't seem to get it to work.

I'm trying to do a 'holdout' type quest where i need to protect some objects in the area... The problem is that the mobs spawn in combat with the objects, so kill / grind tags aren't working (can these be made to attack creatures already in combat?). I was also looking around and saw that an escort tag exists but haven't be able to get it to work.

I haven't used it myself, but here's the definition if it helps:

<Escort CompletionRange="10" CreatureId="" EndX="" EndY="" EndZ="" FollowDistance="5" MapId="" Type="" />

public enum EscortType
    {
        Guide = 0,
        Follow = 1,
    }

Seems like the escort tag isn't functional, didn't work when it came to 'protecting' the objects for the daily. I also told it to follow escort a moving neutral npc in illium and it did nothing.

Is there anyway to make a grind area target mobs already in combat?

Nope! But I may be able to make a working EscortTag for you, since I'll likely need one for my questing progress in Galeras real soon.

Nice! Good work on those questing profiles btw... leveling a engi and warrior on them so far
