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

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

  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. When you have selected the command, 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, 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 List Commands menu in the radial. 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.
