Creature Pet Command Mechanics In this section, I will go over the basic Creature Pet Commands, and how to use these commands. Creature pets have no default commands of their own unless trained by a creature handler. Without being trained the store command they can only be stored through the radial menu on the Pet Control Device in the player's datapad. The Datapad List The datapad list is a window that is obtained by the player through left clicking on the Pet Control Device in the datapad. The window to the left displays all the known commands that the pet has acquired. Accessing the Command List Example of Command List Window Part 1. Command List Complete Command List This is a listing of all available radial options that may be trained to pets as they appear under the pet control device window. Radial Name Default Command Notes Follow Me Stay Guard Friend Attack Patrol Get Patrol Point Clear Patrol Points Wedge Formation Column Formation Transfer Store Do Trick One Do Trick Two Group Follow Other Special Attack One Special Attack Two Ranged Attack Part 5. Pet Command Definitions Notes: 1. Commands cannot be issued to pets if the pet is outside of a building and the player issuing a command is inside of a building. 2. Pets commanded to "follow" or "stay" in combat will stop fighting, and either follow, or stay, until commanded to attack something. Most of the commands explain themselves, but I'll run through some of the commands with you. Follow Me This command will make your pet come to you from its current position and then begin following you as you move around Follow Other - Targeted command that makes your pet come from its current position and then follows the designated target until they take a shuttle or log out of client. Stay - This command will cause your pet to stop its current movement and then stay put. Befriend- Allows a targeted player to control your pet. It Allows the target to issue commands to the pet. The befriended player cannot issue /tellpet commands however Group - This command will cause the pet to group with the player, provided that the pet and owner are within range of the group leader (normal grouping range applies). Using the command again while already grouped will disband the pet from the group. Get in Column/Wedge Formation - This command causes your pet to assume a new position behind you Get Patrol Point - Marks a spot along a path for your pet to patrol. Allows a pet to store up to 10 patrol points, but only while the pet is present. If the pet 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 pet. Guard - Commands a combat capable pet to guard your current target (another player, NPC or creature). Your pet will attack anyone who attacks the guarded target. Guard is a toggle; you can command your pet to stop guarding by using the Guard option when you don't have anything targeted (the ESC key clears all targets). The pet will guard who ever is targeted. If no one is targeted, or an enemy is targeted, the pet will guard its owner. The pet will attack the first aggressive entity that comes after the guarded target. Any subsequent aggressor will be added to its list to attack after the initial aggressor has been destroyed. Pets will not stop guarding when commanded to follow or stay in combat (i.e. they will resume guarding after combat). Attack - Use this command and your pet will attack your current targeted enemy Store - This command puts your pet back into your datapad Do Trick One When used, the pet will perform its default animation for trick one. If done while the pet is sitting down then a special animation is used. (Note not all pets have a unique animation while sitting down) Do Trick Two When used, the pet will perform its default animation for trick two. If done while the pet is sitting down then a special animation is used. (Note not all pets have a unique animation while sitting down) Special Attack One When used, the pet will perform one of its unique special attacks (Not all pets have a special attack). Some of these include knock down, dizzy, poisons, diseases, posture changes and bleeds. Special Attack Two When used, the pet will perform one of its unique special attacks (Not all pets have a special attack). Some of these include knock down, dizzy, poisons, diseases, posture changes and bleeds. Part 6. Misc Command & Ability Definitions Tellpet If you're worried about contributing to the spam in busy areas, or disturbing the peace and tranquility in quiet areas as you shout "Follow Me" at your droid, then you can use the "/tellpet" command. When you have one pet out and you wish to use the /tellpet command, you do not need to target your pet. You may simply issue the command, eg "/tellpet group." In the case where you have multiple pets out, you need to target the pet that you wish to issue the command to and then send the command, eg "/tellpet group" otherwise the command is sent to all pets. 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. Additionally, commands sent are case sensitive meaning that "aa" and "AA" are in effect, different commands. Another use of the tellpet command is to train pets. When the owner wishes to train a pet, they will use the radial menu on the pet (or conversation dialog choices for certain droids) and then the pet will be receptive to commands. At this point the owner can use /tellpet to issue the command that they wish the pet to be trained with, eg "/tellpet follow." Once the command is sent, the pet will will have learned it and will be ready to use it or learn a new command. Source References Source Source in Context
