Voltaic Sentinel & Galvanic Sentinel Position Control

[Tath99]

Currently, these summoned 'assistants' appear and follow their creator lagging behind them, occasionally in a manner which is counter-productive.  i.e.  You need to target the Galvanic Sentinel to cast Rejuvenating Circuit, and the sentinel is behind and out of view requiring a 180 turn...

 

Would it be possible to add code that allowed (as appropriate):

• Automation:  Changing the follow code:  to allow The Sentinel to automatically follow and then advance beyond its creator.
• Quality of Life Macro on Power creation to tray: to allow player control of Advancing Sentinel position (relative to own position & facing).
• Limited access to pet controls (move only) for these sentinels.

 

I am aware that a resummon is available but add the suggestion in the hope any solution might have wider suitability for other powersets and future fine-grain control of sentinel like pets.

I don't think pets can check character facing. Just character position. So having the sentinels advance slightly in front of the character could be problematic. Maybe a wandering mechanic instead so that when not in combat, the sentinel floats to various points around the character?
