:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Not really an issue but is a bug. The unit SPCWhiteBuffalo has the tactic for an attack as well as the protoaction. I am making a mod with animals and it will not attack even though it has the attack displayed and the cursor changes to attack. So I looked at the animation file and realized that there is not animation for anything at all hardly for the white bufffalo. I realize that it may not appear in the game but it is in the files as a pet.

This is still an issue for everyone else but I fixed it by changing the Pet_Tactics file and changed HandAttack to Attack because that is what the animation is called in the whitebuffalo XML. I did not see it until I extracted it. So I fixed this on my end. I don’t know what kind of priority this animal would be since, I don’t know when or where the animal actually apears. I assume it shows up in the campaign because the name starts with SPC. For all of those out there that want to play with the white buffalo in your own mod just change the tactics file anim line for the meleeAttack from HandAttack to just Attack.
