[Release] DayZ Dynamic Dogs

I do not take credit for the creation of this feature. I only take credit for the modifications required to accomplish my goals. To my knowledge development was dropped for this feature long ago and that is why I am releasing this to the community.

Description
This feature spawns a dog companion when a player comes within so many yards of any dog house on any map. This is based on a trigger that can only be activated by players to prevent wild dogs from running around aimlessly causing issues for the server or other players. This has only been deployed on a DayZ Mod server but is scripted to not be mod specific.

Requirements
This script requires the use of a notepad++ or similar program, a PBO manager or similar program and access to all outlined PBO files below.

Easy = Blue <10

Installation​

1. Download the package: DayZ Dynamic Dogs
2. Extract the package into the mission PBO root.
3. In the init.sqf after game settings add this:

   dogOwner = [];

4. In the init.sqf file inside of the (isServer) block after server monitor add this:

   [] execVM "addin\dogInit.sqf";

5. At the end of the init.sqf file inside the (!isDedicated) block after all the code add this:

   _nul = [] execVM "addin\plrInit.sqf";

   Optional: If you have already created a new (!isDedicated) block to house your other scripts then just add it inside that one.
6. Open your sched_corpses.sqf in the scheduler folder of the server PBO and find this section:
   

   _delQtyAnimal = 0;
       {
           if (local _x && !(typeOf _x)) then {
               _x call sched_co_deleteVehicle;
               _delQtyAnimal = _delQtyAnimal + 1;
           };
       } forEach entities "CAAnimalBase";

   Then change it to this:
   

   _delQtyAnimal = 0;
       {
           if (local _x && !((typeOf _x) in ["Pastor","Fin"])) then {
               _x call sched_co_deleteVehicle;
               _delQtyAnimal = _delQtyAnimal + 1;
           };
       } forEach entities "CAAnimalBase";

7. Open the init.sqf mission file and add this variable to either your custom variables or after the game settings:

   heliLift = true;
