Droid Command Programming Mechanics

In this section, I will go over the basic droid commands, how to program a droid, and how tos and what nots of different droid modules.


Part 1. Command List


Command Name Command
Follow Me follow
Follow Other chase
Stay stay
Befriend friend
Get in Column Formation column formation
Get in Wedge Formation wedge formation
Patrol patrol
Get Patrol Point get patrol point
Clear Patrol Point clear patrol point
Group group
Store release
Guard* guard
Attack* attack
Use Ranged Attack** (Unknown) Currently MIA
Transfer*** transfer No longer programmable
Repair Other Droid $ (Unknown)
Recharge Other Droid % (Unknown)
    Most of the commands explain themselves, but I'll run through some of the commands with you.

  • Follow Other - Targeted command that makes your
    droid follow the designated target as long as they do not take a shuttle
    or log out of client. Once used by many Master Droid Engineers as a
    form of CH griefing.
  • Befriend- Allows the target to issue limited commands
    to the droid.
  • Get in Column/Wedge Formation - Not very useful, due to
    only CHs are able to call multiple pets/droids/perks. Can be issued so
    that the Droid does not 'sit' on top of your toon.
  • Get Patrol Point - Allows a droid to store up to 10
    patrol points, but only while the droid is present. If the droid is
    stored, you will need to re-program the patrol points. Patrol points
    can be up to 50 meters apart.
  • Clear Patrol Points - Clears all stored patrol points
    on a droid.
  • Guard - Causes combat capable droids to guard a specific
    target, including yourself.
  • Use Ranged Attack - Toggles Ranged attack ON in some
    droid units. (Known Issue) Currently missing


    ( * Combat capable droids only)
    ( **Combat capable R-units only)
    ( *** Cannot be reprogrammed)
    ( $ Repair module equipped droid only.
    Lists as 'Do Trick Two' in the datapad)
    ( % Power Droid only. Lists as 'Do Trick One' in the datapad.)

    Now that you have a droid, what do you do with it? Once you have called your droid you need to program the commands it will need. Target your new droid and open the radial menu. To train the droid select and pick "Program" from the radial menu. This will give you a list of commands that your droid is able to learn. Select one and your droid will have a question mark appear over its head. Now say the command and the droid will respond with an exclamation mark to confirm that it has learned its new command. For example: * Select Program from the droid's radial menu, and select "Follow Me". * Droid indicates it is ready with a question mark floating above its head "?". * 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. * Droid responds to indicate that it has learned that command by an exclamation mark floating above its head "!". * Repeat for any further commands you'd like to teach it.
