Easier way to give orders to the horse.

[Pony]

We should have an easier way to give the horse orders,

whistling like morse code to give different order, like

1 short:  calling the horse.

1 short 1 long: follow me.

3 short : go away.

2 long : stay.

just something like that.

Sometimes I want to give orders to the horse while a gun or a binocular in my hand,

I have to put them down in order to give orders then grab the gun again,

because the orders are binding in the same button L1.

a coded whistling will be easier and look smarter, isn't it?

no, whistling calls an animal.  you don't whistle twice at your dog for it to sit, or 3 times to go away.   It's already set for short whistle is come, long whistle is follow.

I like your idea and actually, I think it would be easier as an option/alternative to brining up the L1 menu.

A lot of times I want my horse to stay but don't want to hassle with the way the commands are set up to work now. It would be faster and more convenient IMO just to do the whistles like you say.

Good idea. I did not know that a long whistle made the horse follow?
