[A15] PetFollow - Better control of your trained pets (V 1.3.2)

[Hatti]

PetFollow - Better control of your pets

Description:

Are you annoyed that your trained pets follow their masters everywhere they go in dangerous situations?
Do your pets get killed by friendly fire and drives your colonist crazy and into berserk?

Better control your pets!

With this mod, you are able to designate trained pets if they should follow their master if they are drafted and/or on a hunt.
Pets wont waste usefull hauling time with wandering in front of their masters gun anymore.

Even if your pet handler is going to tame a dangerous animal, already trained pets can be designated to follow their master and defend him.

How? how? how???

You have three possible ways to do so.

Only pets who are trained ( Obedience trained ) and have a master can be assigned.

• In the animal tab
  
  
  
  
  
• By selecting your pet
  
  
  
  
  


• In the architect -> order menu
  
  

Fluffy's Animal Tab

This mod is compatible with Fluffy's Animal Tab ( BIG thanks for making it possible! ) you just need to ensure to load his Animal Tab after PetFollow in the Modorder menu


Compability
No issues with other mods known (except ones that modify the animal tab (except Fluffy´s Animal Tab). See below)
The animal tab is only optional and not necessary, cause you have 3 options to designate your pets.
If you have another mod which alters the animal tab, you can define by mod order which animal tab you want.

Awesome ! Thanks a lot. I really wish someone ending up doing this!

Permission to point users of my shitty mod (Stay!) to use your instead, please? As your is clearly way better/more elegant.

does this mean that I can't use Fluffy's animal tab because of this? :/

The animal tab as added in the vanila game in the 14 update it's not exclusive of this mod (i am a bit salty since i can't change the animals name in that tab)

[Chibisuke]

The Allow and Disallow button texture seems to be reversed. Selecting Pet shows a cross over the follow on hunt and on draft but it's actually enabled to follow.

Is this compatible with Fluffy's animal tab I wonder..

The animal tab is only optional and not necessary. If you have another mod which alters the animal tab, you can define by mod order which animal tab you want.

Meaning that you put the one you want to keep in last in mod order

hey, is this compatible with fluffys animal tab? they both change the animal tab.

@Hatti, your changes remove the 3 hooks added by CCL: "CCL Insertion hook for modders" from Animal.xml.
I don't know the impact, or if you should add it to your version, of if it wasn't used anyway.

thank you, for pointing that out:)

please see above. if you use fluffys animal tab, add it after my mod. you will have fluffys animal tab but without my changes to the tab itself. so you can only use the other 2 options to designate your pets

i used the vanilla animal tab. so if ccl modified it, its likly that any changes and hooks added to the animaltab are lost.
i will look into it and change it if needed
