Hi everybody!

(Sorry for my bad English)
These days, I try to make a cre that is able to travel between areas(with the party), like the haiass.cre in the "haiass el lobo" mod. I made a MyCre.baf with the MakeGlobal() action command.
But I don't know what to do next...

Thanks fo reply !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need a script block that moves the creature to the party's location, then you need to extend every single area script in the game with that block, or patch it into areas without a script. Sure, you could be lazy and extend baldur.bcs but that's lame .

From Haiass, the script block for haiare.baf:

IF
  Global("HaiassJumpOn","GLOBAL",1)
  Global("HaiassSeUne","GLOBAL",1)
  !InActiveArea("haiass")
  !See("haiass")
  !Dead("haiass")
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    MoveGlobalObject("haiass",Protagonist)
END

And then the mod .tp2 code to extend that to all the area scripts:

COMPILE ~haiass/append/haiare.baf~

COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP GLOB ~^\([^xX].*\|[xX][^rR].*\|[xX][rR][^2].*\|[xX][rR]2[^46].*\)\.are$~ ~override~
  PATCH_IF SOURCE_SIZE > 0x11b BEGIN
    READ_ASCII 0x94 ~rsc~ //Area script
    TO_LOWER rsc
    PATCH_IF (~%rsc%~ STRING_EQUAL ~none~ = 0) AND (~%rsc%~ STRING_EQUAL ~~ = 0) BEGIN //If not a null script
      PATCH_IF NOT VARIABLE_IS_SET $df(EVALUATE_BUFFER ~%rsc%~) BEGIN //And hasn't been buffered already
        SPRINT $df(EVALUATE_BUFFER ~%rsc%~) ~%rsc%~ //Add to buffer
      END
    END ELSE BEGIN
      SPRINT ~rsc~ ~%SOURCE_RES%~ //Area script
      PATCH_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~%rsc%.bcs~ BEGIN
        WRITE_ASCIIE 0x94 ~%rsc%~ #8 //Write it to the area file
        SPRINT $df(EVALUATE_BUFFER ~%rsc%~) ~%rsc%~ //Add to buffer
      END ELSE BEGIN
        INNER_ACTION BEGIN
          COPY_EXISTING ~haiare.bcs~ ~override/%rsc%.bcs~
        END
        WRITE_ASCIIE 0x94 ~%rsc%~ #8 //Write it to the area file
      END
    END
  END
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

ACTION_PHP_EACH df AS i => xs BEGIN //Extend all scripts in buffer
  EXTEND_BOTTOM ~%xs%.bcs~ ~override/haiare.bcs~
END

Change the variable and creature names as relevant. It's worth noting that "haiass" in this case is the creature's scripting name (also called death variable) not the filename (it's that too but it needs to be the scripting name).
