Description of fields

leaderGUID

creature GUID of the group leader  

memberGUID

creature GUID of a 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	If any creature from group is attacked, members won't assist
1	Group member will assist only their leader if attacked.
2	Group members will assist all group members
3	Everyone assists everyone and member don't follow the leader
512	Noone assists noone and member follow the leader
515	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.
