Ranged Volt Goat shock

The same goes for Maxwell's cage spell

I reported this before...

They even fixed it in ds....

 

pain, my guess is they dont want to fix this because it would require adding special support for all ranged weapons and that might break really old mods (idk??)

There actually is specific code for ranged weapons, and the fire dart uses it...it just uh, also uses code to get things to aggro on the shooter that makes it look like a melee attack to the goat.

But these days, there are a few better ways to set the target without using that.

It's been a while but I think I gave up because of complex projectiles like wolfgangs dumbells (they can both be ranged and melee)

Oh.

No, the problem isn't in projectiles as a component or anything; other projectiles don't have this result unless they deal damage, or have specific code that causes it.
The problem is that fire darts have one line of code that pushes a damageless attack to trigger aggro.
There are better ways to push aggro, like combat:SetTarget. I've used this in a mod to fix the problem; maybe there are better methods, and I've seen other ways of setting aggro, but it seems to work.
