Overview
petcom commands
petcom_all commands
petcom_pow power(truncated) commands
- sent to pet(s) that most closely match the power
petcom_name petname(truncated) commands
- sent to pet(s) that most closely match the name
Power(truncated) is the name of the power that was used to summon the pet. If you use the full power name with spaces, then you must put the name of the power in quotes. However binds get broken if there are quotes inside of quotes. Therefore it is best to truncate the power name. Since all the summon powers are unique for the first three or four letters, you can truncate them as such. However, if you use an abbreviation that has letters common with two summon powers, the command will be sent to all pets that match those powers. In Ninjas, we have Call Genin, Call Jounin, and Oni. If the command is petcom_pow nin def fol, then all the Genins and Jounins will change their stance to Defensive and their orders to Follow, but the Oni will not change it's stance/orders.
Petname(truncated) can be used the same way as power(truncated) can. Pretend you've renamed the three minions to Harold Smith, Jeff Johnson, and Michael Thorson. All of them have the letter O in their name, but only two have the letter I. Two of them have "son" in their name. And finally, two of them have the letters "TH" in common. They all have spaces in their name, and creating binds/macros with spaces and quotes can, and will, break. So you can shorten their names to just their last names.
Stances
Aggressive Attack everything in sight.

Examples
Common Uses
Binding the petcom commands to keys or with macros can greatly increase your survivability through better control of your henchmen. See Mastermind, and Mastermind Numpad Pet Controls, which makes use of the petcom commands through bind files.
This is also applicable to the control of Heavies and Pillboxes in the PvP zone, Recluse's Victory.
