Wish granted... this was working but I added a check to group teleports because group porting of bots crashed the zone and that check broke the group heals. Unfortunately the group heal over time spells have the same identifier as group teleports(spells[spell_id].targettype == ST_GroupTeleport) which is kinda strange. I've added some checks to get by this for the group heal over time spells, I didn't check the flat group heals yet, do those fail too?

This isn't bot specific code and I couldn't find any tint code that wasn't specifically related to the Client Character only.

I made some changes that probably fix this... not sure about why helmets aren't showing.

This would be quite the feature to code. Maybe somebody can take this on.

I've tried messing with this but the /follow command has it's own idea of distance and there is some staggering already.

There may be something I can do here, but it would lose what little staggering there is now and all the bots would end up in one spot.

These fixes aren't available for download yet. I'll try and put them up in the next couple of days.
