Yeah, I realised that after I'd posted! I guess my concept was based
on the server realising that Player 1 wasn't a weapon, and that
Player 2 indeed wasn't even carrying Player 1 and interpreting the
'WITH' as an assist.
Alternatively, Player 2 could have a teamwork attribute, either in
their character class, or as a toggle. With this attribute enabled,
ATTACK RAT would automatically assist Player 1, without Player 2
having to constantly specify. I'm sure this is how guild type
teamwork works? (I'm not an EQ/AC/DAoC type player)
