Very brave, taking a pet into sfor. I lost a lot of test pet wolves in that first pit. I just couldn't figure a way to make them go "omg! pit!"... So far my only solution is to have them follow monsterclips in sfor - they don't anywhere else.
I need a name function so you can name the pets... I think we also really need a way to store a pet. Active pets eat edicts, so it'll become a real problem when everyone and their cousin has a pet.
So far, I can't think of a GOOD way to do it... It may wind up being another set of console commands. "pet store" "pet summon" "pet name" etc.

added functionality for F12 menu ftw?
Hacky way to summon/unsummon a pet would be to make them act as an item, you can "pack" them with the interaction menu and when you use the "pack" they come forth, although everthing sounds easy on paper... I doubt it will be easy.
A fix for the pit problem might be adding a new clip type just for pets, but that will take more time and might be more troublesome than your idea.

My original idea was to store the pet in the charm, if you used it again. I kinda buggered that when I made the current charms 1-shot. Thereâs some details in making that work that are difficult too.
Part of the issue is I donât actually have a command to summon the pet â it actually just pops up with you when you spawn in the hard code. Iâll have to change that before anything else.
Yeeeah⦠Like editing every map in the game.
So far my only solution is to follow monsterclips on some maps and not others. Following monsterclips causes issues on a lot of maps.
Itâs not 100% though, as a lot of maps have no monsterclips, or none around certain hazards⦠Imagine trying to navigate your wolf up the ramps at Keledrosruins? (I said imagine â for the love of jebus donât actually TRY it.)
Dunno why I canât get the bugger to realize the ground in front of him is just too far down and stop though.
I dunno if I can somehow rig trigger_hurt to realize itâs a scripted entity in its grasp, to not harm it, and to teleport it back to the player if itâs a pet.

Yeah, that's more or less what I tried. There's also the issue of getting him to actually stop. Damn wolf is so fast that his run anim takes him pretty far per frame.

How about if they're actually over a pit they just teleport back to their feur?

Thothie, about pet-only func_monsterclip entities; I think you should add them so that mappers can use them for future releases.

I think I managed to rig something where they teleport to the owner whenever they begin to fall. Seems to work alright... Interesting side effect, even if YOU jump into a pit, and your pet follows you, he's okay, because he teleports to where your real body goes to when it dies.
It has some other minor odd side effects... There's a chance that if you jump a gap, and your wolf is trying to follow you, he may teleport in front of you, and thus block your jump, although I've not really manage to make that one happen yet.

I have an idea, how about a "Galat pet storage" in the main cities? They become like tickets or charms and you can redeem them at any Galat pet storage guy.

Thothie is working on a Pokeball method. You are able to summon/unsummon your pet on his beta server by using the interact menu. (f11)
Anyway, I would like to have the 'pokeball' method over 'banking' your pets.

Apparently you did. The most recent beta patch features pets. Go tame a wolf.

Someone would need to make model of the player on the horse, and anims of the horse attacking. I had an idea that a pack mule or some such maybe able to carry some inventory, but not sure if that'd work yet (also lead to bank idea #123092).

My wolf died today, he fell in a pit in heras lol. I forgot to tell him to stay and went to the Orc archers for him to train on. Heres a picture before it died;
My 1st pet was zombiefied on the Isle of Dread ... damit,
Then I found a new one,
Pack Mules would be intresting, possible quests, to carry something back and forth? (Trader, in return you get money).
Dragons, well... I belive the maps are to small for dragons O_O, horses would work, but as TT said, we need it animated and stuff... What about a fairy that lights the way, like in LINK, lol, no more casting dam glow spells ...
A hawk would be fun, air attacks ...
