There is a Autoexec.cfg included in the zip file that will automatically load pet_config.cfg.
if you already have an Autoexec.cfg file, then just include 'exec pet_config.cfg' in one of the
lines. you can also type 'exec pet_config.cfg' in the console whenever the game loads.

------- Usage -------
1. Open any map or play a single player game (partially supported [teleporting]).
2. if you want the monster to be your pet then spawn them with the 'team' key set
to '0' or just spawn a monster with 'pet_' in front of their name.

example b: spawn monster_demon_imp team 0
spawn monster_zombie_fat team 0
spawn army_zsec_plasma team 0
spawn pet_revenant

NOTE: you can set the commands to any key by changing them in "pet_config.cfg" file

B - Select a pet and command it to move, attack, follow, or stay
V - Command all pets to move or attack
N - Teleports all pets to a new location

ONE PET
press B to select a pet. press B again on the selected pet and it will toggle the follow command.
After selecting a pet, press B to move to a position, or press B on an enemy (really you can target anyone)
and it will attack it.

ALL PETS
press V to command all pets to attack somebody or to move to a certain position. *If you want them
all to follow you, point downwards and press V.

TELEPORTING PETS
If your pets get stuck somewhere or cannot follow you (ei. if you climb a ladder) you can
teleport all your pets to a new location by pressing N.

ARCHVILE
If the you select an archvile, you can do some special commands:
1. If you target dead pets, the archvile respawn them.
2. If you target pets that are alive, the archvile will keep them alive (Auto Respawn)
