Let rSummon := player.Call GetNthSummon Nth

Code

ScriptName GetNthSummon
long iNth
array_var arFollowers
ref rFollower
long iFollower

Begin Function {iNth}
	let arFollowers := GetFollowers
	let iFollower := GetNumFollowers
 	While iFollower > 0
		let iFollower -= 1
		let rFollower := GetNthFollower iFollower
		ar_Erase arFollowers ( ar_Find rFollower arFollowers )
	Loop

	if TestExpr arFollowers[iNth]
		SetFunctionValue arFollowers[iNth]
	endif
 	let arFollowers := ar_Null
 End 

Alternative code for use with GetSummons (to avoid duplicate code)

	let arSummons := Call GetSummons
	if TestExpr arSummons[iNth]
		SetFunctionValue arSummons[iNth]
