    Put it in your bank of hot keys, press the corresponding number, choose where you want it to be and throw!

    It will then follow you around. Not that hard...

    corresponding number means this
    if you put it in the first quickslot
    then press nr.1 on yer keybord it will automatically select that item in slot nr.1
    you also cannot use it if your character throws the thing too far.

    First you gotta put it together.
    Then oil it...support it as it grows.
    Then you just let it run along.

    Put it in your hotbank. Go back to standard view (out of Inventory). Left click on the Arachnid. Your icon will change. Point to where you want the Arachnid to go. Left click. It worked for me.
    I finally got rid of the creature. It was too slow. :sad:

    Kane, really there is one way and we told you how it works. If it does not there is not much you can do about it, and think there is another way to make it work. and about the key turning don't believe what loo writes.
    one last thing did you drag it on the hand icon as I said?

    I /think/ Feldon is being sarcastic...(but then again you never really can tell can you?)

    It is flamethrower that has a problem here..

    But seriously, the first time I deployed my clockwork decoys I thought I had done something seriously wrong: My character took this fairly fragile looking object and threw it with all it`s might.(Then Sogg attacked it...? And NO I didn`t throw it anywhere near him; it was like teasing a cat with a mechanical mouse. :grin: )

    I personally think Troika should have invested a bit more in animating a more believable deployment animation...
