@jadsonkk:

> I am brasilian, your tutorial very good!!!!!

Thank you very much!

I was also wondering whether anyone would want to translate this tutorial into their respective language, for other users for which English isn't their first language.

Thanks,

Lightning

Google translator. Duh. You may want to also translate it for your Libyan friends Lightning ;D.

I'm not relying on that rubbish. ;) And no, my Libyan friends don't need it at the moment, they have other problems to sort out.

Lightning I think the tutorial part of PlayerRec is wrong. Your doing Pet as PetRec, it errors saying forward reference to user-defined type.

[The New World]

There's one bug in this really, when your pet kills the npc, it doesn't handle the experience rollover that you get.

Edit: And the fact that the pet doesn't continue to follow you when you go to a new map, which is an easy fix.

[Helladen]

I figured it out. I had the PetRec below the PlayerRec.

Thanks for that, I'll add it to the tutorial.

So is the Pet not following to the next map bug fix in the tutorial? Just curious.

[Helladen]

Yes. Look above. ^

hmm… question.

you use mapnpc for this right?

what would happen if the max number, which is 20 by default, would be met?

is it not better to make a whole seperate class of npc for this?

just wondering :P

```
PetSlot = 0

    For I = 1 To MAX_MAP_NPCS
        If Map(PlayerMap).Npc(I) = 0 Then
            PetSlot = I
            Exit For
        End If
    Next

    If PetSlot = 0 Then
        Call PlayerMsg(Index, "The map is too crowded for you to call on your pet!", Red)
        Exit Sub
    End If
```
Once the limit is reached, the player is unable to call their pet.

In regards to having a separate spot for pets only, you would only need to edit the spots in MapNpc, and send them to the client. You would also need to make sure that the pets are rendered.

You need to replace the hashes with a number. :P

[Fuu]

What would I change if I don't want the pets to attack?

[Sunku]

Hi lightning i would like the files for the pet system for i cant get VB6 so will you please pm me a download link and i also wanna ask you is there a way to do this without VB6?

[Joyce]

Him sending the files won't change a thing, you need Visual Basic 6 to compile it either way.. :)

[Yxxe]

@Fuu:

> What would I change if I don't want the pets to attack?

And just follow you? Or to cancel them attacking while battling another NPC or player?

[Sunku]

@Yami:

I meant him sending them already compiled…....

[shadowwulf]

for the millionth time. Don't bother using EO if you wont get VB6\.
This system is looking pretty good. may or may not get to adding it in tonight to start tweaking it.

[Yxxe]

Thanks Shadowwulf, best of luck with implementing it.

[Sunku]
