Placed(Spawned) animals work bad if mission launched on Dedicated Server (+ tweak request)
New, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

If mission author creating animals (“Animals” module spawned or Eden Editor entity placed) they will not behave as they do in a SP or hosted MP
However agents (animals) automatically spawned on the terrain will be behave as they should as in SP

By default (in SP and hosted MP) this allVariables cursorObject will return:

[
    "_thiscreated",
    "_totalrunning",
    "_task",
    "leader",
    "_totalcreated",
    "members",
    "_thisrunning",
    "_tasktype",
    "_this",
    "state"
]

Easy spot problem by exec allVariables cursorObject with placed by Eden Rabbit_F on a dedicated server, it will returns empty array []

Variables leader, members and state creating by BIS_fnc_animalBehaviour;
Variables _thisCreated, _task, _taskType, _this and seems rest creating by CfgTasks→AnimalMainTask

Since we get an empty allVariables array, can think that main animal .fsm script did not run at all for placed animal agents on dedi servers:
CfgVehicles → Animal_Base_F → agentTasks

Tweak Request with Dog and Sheep sound effects

There are 4 sounds for dogs in the game files, I would like the script to be tweaked so that the dogs can make them, they are silent for now (see expample code)
Also sheep appeared in the game but Animal Behaviour script wasn't be modified with sound support, if use sheeps they will be silent. Please tweak script so sheep also make sounds (see expample code)
