📋 About This Mod
Dog Whistle is a mod that allows you to specify which enemies should be eligible to be targeted by your Cyber-Mastiff when playing as the Arbitrator.
This mod does not interfere with the standard method of targeting enemies for your dog to attack, and instead provides a new "Whistle" keybind for filtered targeting.
When the "Whistle" keybind is held, the first available enemy that can be targeted according to the chosen filter settings will be marked as a target for your dog.
There is also an optional Auto-Target setting, which will automatically target enemies that are allowed by the chosen filter settings.
Filters can be set independently for each method of targeting. Enemies can be filtered individually, by category (Elite/Specialist/Boss), or globally (all on/off).
Although this mod is was originally made for the Arbites/Arbitrator class, it can also be used for standard tagging on other classes. Filters and Whistle/Auto-Target settings can be set per-class, with extra settings for Focus Target Veteran.
This mod is also available on GitHub.
