"I bought my first droid, now what?"
2. Naming
Once you have your droid, it'll either appear in your inventory as a droid deed or in your datapad. Once you tame the droid for the first time, it will no longer be a deed. Every time you store the droid (or wander away, or board a shuttle or get killed), it returns to your datapad.
If you have a droid deed, let's tame it. Go into your inventory, and click on the deed icon. Hold down the mouse button until a radial menu pops up and choose the "Tame" option. You can do this anyplace, you don't have to be in a safe zone. The droid will appear next to you.
If the droid is in your datapad you can only call it in a town, a camp, a public building or a building that you have admin rights to.
You can check a droids stats and see what modules it has be Examining the deed or item in the inventory or datapad.
Once your droid is next to you, let's name it. We name a droid by programming it with four different commands that each start with its name. Let's program our droid to Follow, Guard, Group, Pivot and Patrol.
1. Click on your droid. Hold down the left button and select the "Program" option.
2. Choose the "Follow Me" command from the submenu.
3. The droid will respond with a query to let you know it's ready to be programmed. If the droid has no personality chip it will say "?"
4. The next chat message you say will be the command memorized. Type "Sandra come". Watch out - commands and names are case sensitive.
5. Do steps 1-4 for Guard, Group, Pivot Point and Patrol.
"Sandra guard"
"Sandra group"
"Sandra point"
"Sandra patrol"
- Usually, after the fourth command, the name about your droids head will change to read "Sandra"
Note - The same name filter as SWG uses is in effect -- you can't use numbers or spaces.
Note - You can only have one droid called out at one time, and only five in your datapad.
Note - Droids with Personality Modules that you can converse with currently cannot be named.
