Getting Spawned Units to Follow the Spawner [Solved]

**This is being used for DS as a replacement for the overpowered mobile command post. archer01 made most of the code.**

The idea is it spawns a squad of security droids that follow the spawner (tactical droid, can be human or ai) around. They spawn fine, they work fine...except I can't get them to follow the tactical droid around (just sit still so clearly the code is messed up somewhere). Anyone with experience in this sort of thing able to help?

Code:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]OnCharacterDispenseControllableTeam(

      function(character,controlled)

         if GetEntityClass(controlled) == GetEntityClassPtr(TroopSpawnerWeapon) then

            local SupportTeam = 3 --Team the new spawned character is in (change this)

            local teamSize = GetTeamSize(SupportTeam)

            for i = 0, teamSize-1 do

               local characterIndex = GetTeamMember(SupportTeam, i)

               local charUnit = GetCharacterUnit(characterIndex)

	local leaderIndex = GetEntityPtr(character)

               if not charUnit then

                  local destination = GetEntityMatrix(GetCharacterUnit(character))

                  SpawnCharacter(characterIndex,destination)

				   ClearAIGoals(3)

				  AddAIGoal(3, "Follow", 100, leaderIndex)

               end

            end

         end

      end,

      CIS --User team (change this)

      )[/code][/size]

Put the AI goal's target on the character's unit and move the ClearAIGoal and AddAIGoal lines above the loop. One adds AI goals for each team, not for each team member.
