What's The Attribute That Makes An Animal Drink?

I've made a new animal, but it constantly gets thristy and unhappy. I was wondering where the attribute to make the animal drink is just in case that's the problem. Also, what is the attribute that makes it have a better chance of drinking water (if there is one, or something close to it)? Thanks for any help. I don't think the animal drank any water at all...

There isn't exaclty an attribute in the xml files that has something to do with drinking.

The problem is most-likely in the beh files. Does the animal eat/do other things?

Yeah, it eats and walks around. I'm not sure if it uses toys yet, but I know it doesn't drink water (that's the only bad thing I've noticed).

Hmm wow that is really weird. I'd make sure you have the latest files and maybe redo the beh/tsk files if need be.

Ok, thanks for the help anyway. Maybe the animals just don't see the water dish or something. If so, how do you make them see it easier? This is probably a basic ZT2 question (from the game), but I want them to drink water, and if I know how to do this, maybe they'll drink some.

How do you make food dishes more noticeable to animals? Just a question. Thank you for any answers.

I'm afraid I don't really know the answer. I dont know if it's even possible to make something "more noticeable". It would require much more difficult ai editing in the beh file.

Yes, the animal does drink from the biome editor. It says it's also going to get a drink from the food dish, but I have yet to see it drink from one.

Still no one knows what the problem is? I guess it isn't so big if the animal drinks from the biome water anyway. Could it be that my animal does not have the line b_SniffsFoodDish="true" in the xml file? I edited some of these factors and could have accidentely taken it out.

Yeah it could definitely be from that or other factors that you edited in that line. It's definitely worth trying!

Ok, thanks for your help. I'll test it out. I assumed that may have been the error.
