In this guide, we will discuss how to modify the game code so that pets remain summoned even after the character dies or is teleported. This adjustment can enhance gameplay by maintaining a continuous companion experience, regardless of the character's status.

Step-by-Step Modifications

1. Update Input Files

First, open the input_login.cpp file. You will need to make a few adjustments:

• Include Additional Headers

Just below it, add the following lines to include pet-related functionalities:

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

Add the following lines right beneath that:

This code ensures that the pet will be summoned upon game start if it was active when the character was last logged.

2. Modify Pet System Logic

Next, open PetSystem.cpp to make some necessary removals.

• Eliminate Death Checks

Search and remove the following line:

This change is crucial because it allows pets to stay active even when their owner has perished.

You’ll need to insert these lines right after it to set the last summoned pet correctly:

• Modify Unsummon Logic

Towards the end of a related function, you will see:

Replace this line with:

This will clear the pet status, ensuring it doesn't disappear unexpectedly.
