RandomCompanion

Version: 3.1.4

by: Gnowknayme [More]

Choose a random mount or vanity pet at the press of a button. Companions can be weighted to be chosen more or less often, or disabled altogether. When mounting, RandomCompanion will automatically choose the best type of mount based on your location.

Usage:
Bind a key from the keybinding menu or...
"/rc mount" to choose a random mount
"/rc mount ground" to choose a random ground mount in a flyable zone
"/rc mount passenger" or "/rc mount passengerground" to choose a mount that can carry passengers
"/rc pet" to choose a random vanity pet
"/rc autorecall" to toggle automatically recalling your vanity pet after resurrecting, changing zones, or taking flight paths
"/rc randomrecall" to toggle recalling a random vanity pet after resurrecting, changing zones, or taking flight paths
"/rc dismiss" to dismiss your current vanity pet
"/rc autodismiss" to toggle automatically dismissing your vanity pet when you are stealthed and flagged for PVP
"/rc raiddismiss" to toggle automatically dismissing your vanity pet when you are in a raid
"/rc randomchange [number of minutes]" to toggle randomly changing your vanity pet occasionally. Default is every 15 minutes

I also was curious about this ability. Thanks for adding it. I had a similar though...

First, how about combining casting random pets and mounts into one action? I can sort of do it now, but just by using extra lines of macros. The reason I ask is because...

How about an option when you summon a mount... RC summons a pet of similar type? Like a Nether Ray mount and Nether Ray Fry? Or a mechanical unit when a mechanical mount is summoned. A bird when a bird is summoned. It could even go by faction, so that a dragonhawk is summoned with the BE mount, or a bat with a skeletal horse. Anyway, just a thought. Lovely addon.

Thanks for the help. I thought I tried something similar, but I'll give it a shot tonight.

I'd much rather have a random mount, random companion in place of the rocket, but I can't get it to work. Thoughts?

Okay, that makes sense.

Thank you very much for the info.

Re: Unable to rotate companions frame

Those buttons do work and continue to rotate pets while pressing button
if I disable RandomCompanion.

Please check it!

I'm looking into what could possibly be causing this. It doesn't really make any sense why it's happening, but I'll get it figured out eventually.

I've set the Guild Page's frequency to "disabled" but he still pops up from time to time. Any way to fix that? [/b]

Disabled pets (and mounts) should never show up unless you manually call them. I'll have to take a look into it and see what could possibly be happening.

Sethala A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	I have one complaint to make about this addon... I recently got a Guild Page. For those who don't know, it's a special vendor companion that sells any of the guild rewards items. Unfortunately, it also has an 8 hour cooldown, so it's not something that you want to summon at a random time... which is exactly what RandomCompanion is doing. I've set the Guild Page's frequency to "disabled" but he still pops up from time to time. Any way to fix that?

Also perfect, but the instructions still appear on dismount (on the ground too). I tried inverting the sequence, with the dismount mefore mounting. THEN the instructions don't come at all. Problem is. If I am mounted, I dismount... and mount back... rsrsrs

The new version I just posted should fix this.
