Companions auto transfer upon leaving an area

This would include recalling, hitting a portal, etc. Have them auto transfer so you get the exp when you leave an area. This would help mainly with when you recall or die and your companion is left behind. You can't summon anymore until he expires after X minutes. This probably wouldn't be a ground breaking amount of exp but would relieve the player of being penalized due to weird NPC stuff the companions sometimes do. Not sure how hard this would be to code. Recall could maybe be as easy as making the players auto say "Transfer" when they hit recall? Can be toggled on and off? Just throwing out some quality of life ideas.

Your wish is my command - almost.

New command /gctome (GC to Me)
When you use a portal or teleport scroll or recall, your GC will come with you if you have turned on the GC to me flag.

There are a large number of different types of teleports and I am not sure if I have got them all.
Let me know if you find one I have missed.

YAYAYAYA! This is exciting. Thank you so much!! Will this work on lab final bosses? So I can get my GC, buff that boy up, regen some mana, then proceed?

Would be very dangerous if this worked on compulsion. Some portals were installed to keep monsters from being lead to another area...

Those few portals could probably be flagged easy enough to prevent that. Would have to be strongly considered which ones though.

It only works for companions, not compulses.

I have not tried it on lab bosses.
I would have to find a lab portal.

Let me know if it works.

I haven’t tried it either....I’ll do it soon when I do lab 5 and let you know. Do you intend on it working for the bosses?

I did not look at the boss transfer as he does not use a portal.
I do recall in days gone by the the GC used to remain in the boss room but I thought that was fixed a long time ago.
Let me know.

I’ll try it out when I get the chance. Thank you for this awesome update.

I was pleasantly surprised my GC followed me into the no magic area of Lab 5. I was unable to spell him even with the amulet....not a big deal for me at this point in time but is that something that will be a big deal at another part of the game by chance? not sure if the no magic and amulet scenario shows up later on.

My companion did NOT follow me through the portal into the bosses room. He has followed me everywhere else though.

I was doing the cave ammy quest and my gc did not teleport into the next room when I solved a riddle. I was too weak to fight on my own so I summoned a gargoyle. Someone that was with me came into the room shortly later while I was slowly inching the dwarve's life away with perma stun while the garg beat him up.

GC should now transfer with you to lab boss.

I can't find the portal to Cave Boss but it should transfer there as well. Let me know if this is broken still.

If you find any more broken portal types, let me know.

Me and twins found out that Gc wont enter the monster lotto portals, It follows him into the monster lotto but not into the monster room.

Me and twins just found another place where gc doesn't follow, we paid 50g to go into cave and his gc did not follow.
