How is it not a wise thing to do? I did that so it wouldn't confuse anyone, because I said I had a lot of problems I ended up being able to fix, and my descriptions of problems were confusing and weird. Also, since I'm the only other person in this topic (right now), saying "he" and "his" as if someone else was actively watching the topic is rather insulting, as you should be talking to me, not a ghost. But not that insulting.
Anyway, back on topic. I've already done the above things you've mentioned in Breakthrough long ago, and allies followed the player just fine. The only possible problem could be "friendlynodes", though there are several levels in Breakthrough where there are no allies at all to follow a player somewhere, thus no reason for the map makers to place "friendlynodes", but the allies will follow the player just fine.

Why is it not wise ? have you ever tried to listen to one side of a conversation ? Now all those posts after yours look dumb . Maybe I should delete all your post and you can start over I bet that would be really insulting wouldn't it .

Are you upset because you weren't helpful before everyone else was? I appreciate that you'd bother typing all that up but, besides the part about nodes, the other dudes had already told me about stuff like friendtypes and whatnot.
It probably would help if you deleted this topic and let me start a new one, as when one question is answered in a topic, everyone thinks that topic will never have questions again and they never return to help after they were helpful the first time.
I apologize to those I might've made look stupid.

The forums are here to help anyone that visits them, not only for the users posting in them. It is therefore very important to keep your posts even if they, to you, have no meaning anymore.
Broadus I can hardly agree with 'they never return to help after they were helpful the first time', since I can see many members doing a lot to help you. Modding also means finding out things yourself, doing research, trying out new things...
Notably some friction is creating a bit of heat in this topic here, but I have all confidence you'll be wise enough not to inflame
If you want, you're free to start all over in a new thread, as long as you don't do it all the time.
Finally, Broadus, let me say you're still an appreciated member here. Just stay cool, don't demand but ask for help, and you should be fine
Good luck with your mod

You will catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar . I tried to explain things with a bit more detail since I do not know your skill level or your understanding of how the friendly system works . I guess my efforts where not appreciated .

You prove a good point, jv_map, though I still must say that, as far as my experience with making help topics, helpful people will come in and help, but cease to return once they figure the question is answered. They're not being spiteful, they just don't seem to expect any more problems.
I'll start a new topic with a different name (but the same existing questions), and this time I won't erase my own posts.
