Character follows another

Should should I ask about this on the Source Coding page?

Hello.

If you have the Source-Version, it's very easy to add. You can simply read-out the player-variables and the positions of the players (see Documentation).

However, there is another way to add character-specific things, if you don't have access to U.F.E.-variables (I don't know how the basic-version works, so this solution is independent from all U.F.E.-variables). This solution might be "quick & dirty" but it works :

Let's say we want to add a dog following "Ethan" from the demo.

1. At first create or import your dog model. Create a Prefab from it.

2. Go to ressources/characters folder, select Ethan and open the Prefab. Add a new script and call it "Ethan":

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Ethan : MonoBehaviour
{

    public static Vector3 Ethan_Position; 
    public GameObject dogPrefab;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        Instantiate(dogPrefab, new Vector3(0.0f, 2.55f, 13.24f), transform.rotation);
    }
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Ethan_Position = transform.position;
    }
}

This script instantiates a clone of the dog-Prefab whenever an instance of Ethan is created. It also stores Ethan's current position in a global variable.

Now assign your dog-Prefab to the script (inspector window):

Finally open the dog-Prefab and add a new script called "dog":

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Dog : MonoBehaviour
  
{
    Vector3 tempPos;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        tempPos = transform.position;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (transform.position.x > Ethan.Ethan_Position.x) { tempPos.x -= 0.04f; }
        if (transform.position.x < Ethan.Ethan_Position.x) { tempPos.x += 0.04f; }

        transform.position = tempPos;
    }
}

This script updates the position of the dog according to Ethan's position.

That's how it looks like:

My dog is a simple cube and a sphere.

This is only a quick start how you might include such things. You can put all the required things (animation controller, movement scripting etc...) into the dog-Prefab and code.
Of course you have to make sure, to destroy the clone after the fight and find a solution for dealing with player one and player two playing as Ethan.

Awesome script! How can I get the dog assist to attack the opponent after I press an input button?

Assists are built in now under the section Character Assist and there is and example in the Source version... maybe Pro as well???

What do you mean? You can select the character in the assist move section

Yes, it would be nice to figure out how it can be done.
