| '''Dog''' is one of the main characters introduced in Half-Life 2. '''Dog''' can play fetch and pick up things.
| |
| | |
| Dog does not have any battle AI, and therefore will simply run away when faced with enemies. All of Dog's battle scenes in Half-Life 2 were scripted.
| |
| | |
| {{warning|If '''Dog''' has an active [[ai goal follow|follow behavior]] (the only extra behavior he's capable of), he will prioritize it, and will not be able to use his fetching behavior. Turning it off (with <code>deactivate</code> input) allows him to play fetch.}}
| |
| | |
| {{note|The [[convar]] <code>dog_max_wait_time</code> controls for how long he waits after throwing an object before giving up and searching for another, if it's not thrown back at him. The default is 7 seconds.}}
