A Helping Paw

The addon has been updated to version 1.4, new world creation settings have been added and will automatically set up defaults in existing worlds.

If you don't see this reflected in game then restart steam, if it still doesn't work it might help to leave steam closed for 5-10 mins and/or reboot your PC, ?reload_scripts should only be a last resort as the script should now automatically figure things out as it is used.

There are a handful of world creation options in this update but many of which are not active in the addon, they are only there so that your saves aren't broken in the future as I update the addon. Currently you can enable/disable the auth requirement for players to use the script (enabled by default), the max number of slots players have access to (default and max is 10, the max will increase in a future update), and whether dogs cost money or not and how much (disabled by default).
The following aren't ready yet.
Spawn anywhere will restrict where you can spawn your dogs, more on that in the future.
Adoption settings will be for a random cheap "sale" system that I don't want to spoil just yet.
Status alerts will eventually show popups whenever one of your pets gets hurt, incapacitated, dies or needs something.
Track all on map will override the default 1 slot at a time tracking system that I will add in a future update, it will show every pet currently spawned in, might be laggy.
Teleport dogs will do just as it says, allow you to teleport your dogs to you.



I didn't create the dogs, this addon just makes working with them easy, it allows you to summon your own companions and recall them whenever you lose them.

This addon is a work in progress and will see many additions over time, most feature updates will not require you to create a new save. Make sure you save often and load from main saves, auto saves seem to be a little buggy at the moment.

I am still quite new to addons scripts and LUA in general so I am sorry if there are issues, this addon blew up overnight and I am trying to fix issues and update it as fast as possible.

Known Issues
- Messing up some commands will return an error in chat, you can probably ignore this.
- Surely something else, please tell me if you have issues, I can't fix what I don't know is broken.

They aren't case sensitive but spaces and spelling must match

?ahpWhistle
If the player doesn't have a dog whistle but has an available inventory slot then a whistle will be given to them.
If the player does have a whistle then it will be taken from them.

?ahpSlot x
Used to select pet slots.
Replace x with a value from 1-10 to select a slot, leave it blank to know what the currently selected slot is and what it contains.

?ahpList
Shows a list of every slot and if they are "Active" (dog is spawned), "Inactive" (dog is despawned but saved), or "Empty" (the pet slot is empty)

?ahpClear
Used to free up a pet slot.
Active companions will be despawned automatically.

?ahpSpawn x name
Use this to spawn new companions in empty pet slots.
Replace x with a value from the following list, replace name with the name you wish to give your companion, make sure to put a space between the command, id and name. You can leave the name blank for a random name.
You can only have 1 companion per slot, see ?ahpClearSlot for more.

- see known issues for an explanation as to why it is currently funky

?ahpBreeds
Puts the list of breeds and their IDs in the in game chat

?ahpHelp
Shows all of these commands and other relevant addon info such as version number and important messages.

?ahpUpdate
Shows a big block of text that acts as an overview for recent updates.

Future updates may introduce the ability to check the status of your companion, alerts for injury, housing costs and much much more (impactful things such as cost will be disabled by default).

I can't do anything about weird pathing, random damage or anything similar, this addon only adds in the commands to spawn, move and remove the companion, animal behaviour and features are things only the game developers control.
Again, I didn't create the dogs, I'm just trying to make them more fun.
