You can find and use a burner phone to call in a companion AI who will fight along side you.
Its slightly buggy and most assets are intended to be replaced in the near future. Companion Texture and phone asset/animations are all placeholder.
Right now:
- Adds a flip phone "BurnerPhone" to the loot pool
- Phone is a consumable with the context button "call"
- You can use the phone by selecting call and a companion will spawn behind you
- the companion will follow you and fight along side you
- Modified its behavior to be slightly more aggressive than usual and slightly more accurate* (because the ai are very inaccurate when you start to try and
rely on them in a fight lol) *
- You can revive your companion by giving them one of your medical items (Bandages, Ifak, Afak, Sos)
- There are sometimes animations for all of this, though they are currently inconsistent so it might look janky most of the time (To be continued)
Next Steps:
- Animation overrides
- better models and textures
- more sound design for phone
- Companion Behavior and abilities
-Companion Persistence (Companion Currently Only works for the map that you call it in on)
Feedback is welcome/encouraged, Updates and Fixes will be coming ASAP, but with the limitations "when i have time to sink my teeth in."
