−	~~Now that you have a droid, what do you do with it? <br><br>~~

−	~~Once you have called your droid you need to program the commands it will need. Target your new droid and open the radial menu.<br><br>~~
−
−	To train the droid select and pick [[media:DroidMenuRadial.jpg\|"Program"]] from the radial menu. This will give you a list of commands that your droid is able to learn. When you have selected the command, [[media:TrainingCommand.jpg\|a "?" will appear]] over the droid's head and in Spatial Chat. The command can be made either in Spatial or by using the /tellpet command. A command can be up to a total of 30 characters in length and can consist of letters, characters, and spaces. Commands are case sensitive according to how you originally typed the command. Now say the command and the droid will respond. Once a proper command is issued, [[media:CommandTrainingSuccessful.jpg\|the droid will respond with a "!" over its head]] and in Spatial Chat to confirm that it has learned its new command. You can then verify that the command was issued properly by checking in the datapad under the [[media:ListCommandMenu.jpg\|List Commands menu]] in the [[media:ProgramDroid(flightCommands).jpg\|radial]]. For example:<br><br>
−
−	* Select Program from the droid's radial menu, and select "Follow Me".<br><br>
−	* Droid indicates it is ready with a question mark floating above its head "?".<br><br>
−	* Say the word that you want to use, "heel", bear in mind that this is case-sensitive so if you type it in capitals here, you will need to type it in capital letters each time you command the droid.<br><br>
−	* Droid responds to indicate that it has learned that command by an exclamation mark floating above its head "!".<br><br>
−	* Repeat for any further commands you'd like to teach it.<br><br>
−	* Droids that are issued conflicting commands such as those that they cannot complete without additional parameters (such as issuing patrols without first setting patrol points) will [[media:IssueingConflictingCommand.jpg\|display an "!" and "?" icons]] over their head indicating their confusion.<br><br>
−	* When you issue a command a [[media:AcknowledgeCommand.jpg\|blue exclamation mark]] will float over the pet's head to acknowledge that the order has been received.<br><br>
−	* Additionally, commands sent are case sensitive meaning that "aa" and "AA" are in effect, different commands.

−	'''Note: Pets can be issued commands from up to 90 meters away by using /tellpet to issue the command. Using spatial/shout/yell chat to issue commands to pet is limited to the spatial, shout & yell chat radius.'''

	The Incapacitation Recovery ability is activated through the datapad radial option on the pet control device. Its job is to revive the pet after it becomes incapacitated. Recapacitation for pets is set to a forced 2 minute wait for the pet to come back to life, even if its health has regenerated. Due to this rule, Incapacitation Recovery can only be applied to the pet after two minutes.

If you've named your pet, then you can address it by name without having to target it. For example if your pet's name is "Fluffy" then you would say "/tellpet (Fluffy) attack" or for one called "EojsKillahDroid" "/tellpet (EojsKillahDroid) follow target" (note that the pet's name must have the brackets around it, and that it is case-sensitive and should be typed exactly as you see the name above the pet's head). Issuing commands based on pet name only works for pets that have been given names. Pets that have not been named for example "a 3PO protocol droid" or "a bol (baby)" cannot have commands issued via their name, therefore the owner must use the normal /tellpet method or targeting the pet and then doing /tellpet. The /tellpet command can only send words, or groupings of letters that must be at least 2 letters. Single letter commands cannot be sent using /tellpet.
