leaderGUID
GUID of group leader
memberGUID
GUID of group member
dist
Maximum distance between group leader and member
angle
Angle between leader and member
Note: Only degrees are used! Values should be between 0 and 360
groupAI
Sets group member behaviours, values are:
Value | Behaviour |
0 | Noone assists noone and member don't follow the leader |
4 | Noone assists noone and member follow the leader |
| 1 | The member aggroes if the leader aggroes |
| 2 | The leader aggroes if the member aggroes |
| 1|2 | Everyone assists everyone and member don't follow the leader |
| 1|2|4 | Everyone assists everyone and member follow the leader |
point_1
point_2
These values are used to set leaderGUID pre ending path points for memberGUID's where the path is a straight return path and memberGUID's should not crossover to other side of leaderGUID on direction change.
If your leader has a path like the one below where he moves to point 5 then back to 1 you would set point_1 = 4 and point_2 = 8 on the memberGUID. If the memberGUID is at angle 90 up to point 5 it will switch to angle 270 for the return trip. This is only needed to keep creatures on the correct side. these values can be left at 0 for creatures following directly behind leaderGUID or any creatures in a circular path.
