[DECORATE] Making a Friendly Monster that only follow his master/player

Hi everyone.

How could I make a Friendly Monster that will act as only following the player who summoned it and ignore anything else?

What do you have in mind for this monster's behavior? Will it never attack, only follow the player around no matter what? Can it be damaged and/or killed?

Thing_SetGoal is probably a good option but what I'd do is create a hostile monster with NOTARGETSWITCH and no attack states.

I would have used Thing_SetGoal if I wasn't already using custom ID for players.

I would like the monster to follow the player without attacking and being ignored by others.
I didn't think of using a non friendly monster with +NOTARGETSWITCH, also +NEVERTARGET could help if Zand 3.0 support I'll try it out.

You shouldn't need NEVERTARGET unless you have friendly monsters. In that case, it'll be complicated to prevent them from targetting the hostile monster. NOTARGET won't really do anything considering this monster does not attack, so no others will ever turn on it.
