So instead of my weapon pack just replacing the guns, I took some of the power ups and replaced them with various items collected from the interwebs.

Now, I ended up grabbing the summonsphere from realm667 and remembered about the MBFHelperDog, and replaced the baron that spawned though that sphere. Then, I remembered reading somewhere that the dogs were designed to work in a pack... so here's the code I got set up for the summon sphere because I got no clue.

I didn't like the damage output of A_SargAttack (4-40 damage I think) but if there will be more than one dog around, maybe it'll be better than what I picked up in some random wad I found in the Realm667 repository.
This is brand new to my weapon pack so I'm still ATTEMPTING to balance n stuff.
oh, and credit will be given to those who help me out (not to mention those who originally posted this crap)

Do more SpawnItemEx's for "Spike" and adjust the x,y,z offsets accordingly.

Tip: Give Spike +THRUSPECIES so that dogs don't get stuck in each other when you spawn them. I did this for the Mercenaries attack dogs and it helps the "pack" tactic because it lets them gang up on a target without blocking out other dogs from attacking it too.

Thanks a bunch, I think I tried to over complicate things by trying to give the other dogs names too.
