Additional scripting | This script works with parenting, and makes the child creature assist the parent, yield with the parent, but fight back if attacked. Additional scripting might be needed to make the parent assist the child creature in a similar manner. Again, this normally only needs to be done when you are trying to make a creature assist an NPC.
