Names While Training Commands

[Zurlaboo]

Did anybody else read that little blip about training our pets with or without names? What does that mean?

Can I now train my pet and not have to go back and retrain once it's named?

Bubba catch

Bubba roll over

Bubba play dead

Bubba pee in the neighbor's flowerbed

And then I can just say catch instead of Bubba catch, and it'll work?

I may be wrong, but my understanding was that once you named your pet, you can use

/tellpet bubba slapemsilly;
/tellpet igor clapyourshorthands;

to order two separate commands to different pets.

So I could tell one pet to attack a mob while the other stays behind and wait. Currently, the only way to do this is by teaching them a different command.

Again, I am only speculating and have not done any testing myself so I could be dead wrong :P

Yeah, basically you can now prefix your command with the pets name. This should allow you to individually control each pet if you have multiple's out.

So even if you train the word 'attack' for all your pets to attack, saying bubba attack (with multiple pets called) will only send bubba in to battle?

[xiriss]

that will only work if you use the /tellpet bubba attack
