PetKennel
Version: 5.1.5
by: ziggr [More]
PetKennel automatically dismisses pets when doing errands in town.

System Requirements:

Why PetKennel?
  • Sick of Twilight Matriarchs flap-flap-flapping in your face when trying to craft?
  • Wish you could automatically put away your warden's bear when you walk up to a daily writ turn-in crate?
  • Have you ever apologized in chat for your pets interfering with other players doing their daily crafting writs?
  • Wish you could dismiss pets with a single keystroke?

PetKennel automatically dismisses your combat and vanity pets upon common in-town interactions:
  • daily crafting writ board
  • crafting station
  • crafting writ turn-in crate
  • (non-assistant) bank
  • (non-assistant) merchants and guild traders
  • Rolis Hlaalu

By popular demand, PetKennel can also automatically dismiss your pets (usually just non-combat pets!) when you're out in the field:
  • dungeons & delves

KeyBinding

PetKennel also adds a keybinding to "Hide Pet".



Chat Output

PetKennel writes to chat when it dismisses your pet(s).



Options

If for some reason you want your big opaque bear to get in everybody's way, you can choose to disable PetKennel for whichever interaction you want to keep your pet active.



To Do
  • Assistants? It's amusing to see Tythis and Nuzhimeh chasing after crafters as they do their daily writs. Should I hide them?
  • No, there is no way to force other players to dismiss their pets. Perhaps politely ask them to install PetKennel?.

Thank You

Originally inspired by Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter which implements this same feature, but restricted to only when crafting writs. Some pet-hiding code copied verbatim from LazyWritCrafter.

Also works in trials!

Just fyi, the dungeon/delve setting should also work for trials! You should say so on the addon page

Not sure on the whole API thing, but loreplay forever addon changes my outfit automatically when I:

1.enter or leave cities
2.enter or leave dungeons
3 enter or leaves houses
4 enter or leave adventure zones (anywhere that is not a city/town or dungeon)

I don't know how he did it, but it's able to change my outfit, even if I just walk into the area, but If you were interested in adding this feature I'd maybe ask him. May turn out to be a huge undertaking and not worth your time, figured I would just throw it out there for you to ponder .

Thanks for the addon, still makes my life a lot easier

Yes. Yes, you should. You should hide them.

Yeah, I figured it'd be more complicated trying to code than it'd be worth. I'll just keep looking for AddOns to make my brain/memory work better :p
(To be completely honest, when I first downloaded this AddOn, I thought that's how it'd work, that it'd just hide the pets temporarily, like when you go swimming and the pets go away until you get out of the water again xD In retrospect way too optimistic an expectation, of course, and I'm still happy with how it does work ^^)

  • Would only work for non-combat pets. ZOS API intentionally prevents add-ons from triggering combat abilities. So butterflies=yes, but warden bear=no.
  • Code to re-summon would probably fail to trigger some times, leading to bug reports and more work for ziggr.

(And yes, I know, there already is a hotkey for that, corresponding to whichever skill slot one set one's pet to xD unfortunately I also have to remember to press it before entering combat Such a shame there's no AddOn to download to my brain to help with reminders like that.)

This is awesome. I really hate when my familiars or bear insist on standing right in front of them writ drop boxes so I can't target the box xD
(They also insist on doing the same when I'm sneaking around trying to nab stuff from containers, so the hotkey to get rid of them is awesome.)

You're quite welcome! Glad you find the add-on helpful. And I hope your headache is better now. Those are awful.

(Heh, yeah I noticed that right around the time I posted my reply, your original message disappeared. Since I was still planning to add the settings UI for keybinding, I decided to leave my reply up.)

Now my question :

Is this automatic as for Dolgubon addon or do i have to use as in Pet Dismiss the keybinding ?

Because i tested this two ways :

- I go to a crafting station, to a bank, or a vendor both pets stay up
- if i use the keybinding, then both pets vanish

I thought that the pet company would not be part of that right ?

But i may be using wrongly then lol :P ?
1. Hrm, the combat pet (left column, "ON") should have been dismissed upon interacting with a crafting station. As well as once you get past the first dialog with an (non-assistant) NPC bank or merchant and open the bank or store list UI. Might be a bug. Tell me more.

2. Oops. Keybinding is currently both pets with no way to have it leave your non-combat pet up. I'll add another row of settings UI for the keybinding so that you can use the keybinding for just the combat pet.

PetKennel 5.1.4 now has UI settings for keybinding

So that you can tell PetKennel that its keybinding is just for the combat pet, leave your non-combat pet alone.
