Guide:
BuddyParam is where you can edit what each Spirit Ash is spawning. If you click on the Lone Wolves in the middle you can see its Npc ID and NPC think ID on the right. NPC ID is what npc to spawn, Npc Think ID is how that npc should think lol.

Lone wolf has three entries, all of them spawning the same thing, if you want some of them gone just put -1 in Trigger SpEffect ID (right panel).

You can also spawn more of itself by leaving everything default and just click on its Row and Duplicate its Row number +1. So if the wolf’s row number is let’s say 18000, then the duplicated row should be 18001, and you can name it whatever.

You can duplicate by doing Edit->Duplicate Row.

In order to find NPC IDs we need to go to NpcParam. Here you’ll find a bunch of Npcs, with different variations for each one of them.

The one we will use for this guide is Melina. Press control+F to search for her. We’ll need Melina at Row Number 21800000.

Each NPC’s row number is its NPC ID.

Click on melina and do Duplicate Row. For Row number do 21800000 +1, so 21800001.

Name it buddy melina or whatever. That’s what I’m doing.

Click on the newly made npc and go to the right panel. Change its Team Type to 47 Spirit Summon. We’ll need to do this so that the summoned NPC won’t take damage from the player.

Now go to NpcThinkParam. Here you can find each NPCs Think ID. Do control+F to find melina and grab her ROW ID, 21800000.

Go back to BuddyParam. Click on the first wolf and put 21800000 to its NPC Think ID, and 21800001 to its NPC ID.

Can do this with whatever summon you want and whatever npc you want. Obviously I have no idea if everything works. Can’t test thousands of NPCs.

You can use melina’s think ID for everything you add, but this is the easy “hacky” way. Melina will work just fine, but other NPCs will occasionally just stand there for a sec. The right way isn’t known as of yet and not that well documented?

*Seems like the right way is to use each Npc’s own Think ID, and change some SpEffects. Seems like some SpEffects are responsible for Npcs/Spirit Summons following you.

**Looks like 297000 is the SpEffect needed for NPCs that doesn’t follow you to do so. Just put this to SpEffect 28.

Some NPCs will work just fine out of the box like Melina, no SpEffect change needed. For Blaidd I just needed to test his Npc Think IDs to find out which one is working, no SpEffect changes needed as well.
