Mastermind Pet help

Is there any way to have your mastermind pet say a players name?
It's easy for a player to do it (/say hello $target)
But when I try it with my pets (/petsay_all hello $target)
My pets only say "hello $target" instead of saying the target's name
Any one know why?

Dunno. Probably because the game is coded that way. Did you try $level or $archetype with /petsay_all? Do they work?

I think the problem might be that you can't control who your pet is targetting, other than telling them to attack your target. I don't know that they even CAN target friendlies...

@gameboy1234 - I did try the $level or $archetype with no luck as well.
@Patteroast - I never thought about it that way... maybe that's the reason then.

They can target friendlies - at least, they will target you.

It's because your pet has no target. It should work fine if you use $target through petsay while they're attacking something.

Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Petsay has been broken for some time. They rarely play emotes; they say <em emote> instead. Not a big surprise $name and $target don't work either.

EDIT: although, come to think of it, $target shows as "$target" if you have no active target. The pets themselves only target enemies, not players. They would never say a player's name this way.

The Protector bots will occasionally shield another player, but it happens very rarely. That's the only instance of a MM pet targeting another player that I'm aware of.

It might even be a glitch that causes it to happen too. I've been bubbled by an MMs Probot before, but I don't know if it is actually supposed to do that.
