I think they should have a certain radius of where they could go. I think it would make more sense for the big dog to have more speed + power, and the little dog to have more range, like a a minisentry.

Maybe you can make multiple mini-dogs and only one or two big dogs

they could give the dogs modifeid scout ai that makes them have melee only.

but the big dog would have modded pyro beacase of more health

They could run on the same function as the skeletons from scream fortress, or the robots in MVM.

I'd make them like the gunslinger: quick to build, low health, but fast. Like a minisentry that hunts you down...

On second thought, I hate minis. Screw this.

No seriously, this is a neat idea.

I think these would be a bit OP if they can shoot like a sentry and dodge rockets and other explosions. Maybe they can only shoot while Wrangled and when they are Wrangled they stop running.

You need to make this just for mvm as a upgrade

I love this idea, the models and (mostly) the animations are great, but having these run after foes would be a problem, because this will require navigation nodes, which are extremelly buggy in tf2, even on official maps.

Still leaving my hope there, because this is one-of-a-kind submission.
Congrats for the author(s).

What if, this is just a theory, what if they made it so that the engineer has to put patrol points down. So then the dog[s] will have to take that patrol route.

Or even better, the weapon activate's your goggles's "Dog Mode" which puts you into the perspective of the dog, and you can play as the dog. It'll be like a recon-droid. And it'll be non-healable and it'll be a bit quick than a scout but it'll only hve 80 hp. When the engineer goes into Dog Mode the goggles glows their team color and they remain frozen until the dog dies.

This might be the solution - using the same pathing ability of the Headless Horseman in Scream Gortress - it seems to do a fantastic job, IMO.

Definitely we arent intending this item to shoot - ultimately this would be up to the TF developers, but our idea is it only looks like a sentry gun to fool the other team, then morphs when activated and chases down the enemy. As far as dodging rockets / bombs, etc - agreed OP as well.

Thanks for the comments :)

They also use navigation nodes.

I see this the only valid suggestion and could actually work, like having to build each point until a limit is reached.

I wonder how this would work with the wrangler.

cant they work like the Horsless Headless Horseman

We think it would work pretty well with the Wrangler. If needed, the engineer could always be rooted or have a laser looking "leash" that connects between the engineer and the Dog of War which would show his position.
