SG Base NPC Pathing

[Rudra]

Once upon a time, in a City of Heroes far, far away, PC pets and minions could follow their PC's through SG bases. I'm not sure what happened to make that no longer happen, but for this request, I would like to ask for player placed NPC pathing beacons to be added to SG bases. Just some beacons we can select from the available objects in the list and place in our bases to create paths our flunkies... I mean slaves... I mean... our followers can use to follow the PC around the base with.

Masterminds can directly control where their pets go.

Sure. That's why when I give my MM's pets the Go To command in any of my SG bases, they don't move.

Per your initial post, you didn't ask for the to Go To, you asked for them to Follow.

Either way, I just went and tested with one of my MM's, and my bots followed me around my (relatively small) base just fine.  Goto only worked in the same room.

Did you leave the entrance area? It doesn't matter if I set my pets to Follow or if I use the GoTo command. The pets won't move past the entrance area. That is because SG bases don't have pathing beacons. Pets, just like every other NPC in the game that moves about on the map, have to follow pathing beacons in order to do their moving around. If we were given the ability to add our own pathing beacons, all pets can follow their PC around the base. Sometimes, MMs can be their own beacons, but that is unreliable at best, and even then, pets don't move far beyond the entrance room.
