This will hopefully be approved in the near future.

Use this to control minions.
Targeting a creature will cause minions to attack it if hostile and move to its location if friendly or neutral (may be altered to attack neutrals, module dependent).
Targeting a location will cause minions to attempt to move to the location.
Rife with bugginess and odd behavior - general idea is simply to give some very rough control over minions.
/***
Magical Master's Minion Control (MMMC)
- Allows some semblance of control over henchmen, summons,
animal companions, and familiars
- Should be attached to an item's activate item (long range) or an instant feat
like the player tools - default set-up is to work with an item and tag-based
scripting for ease of use but can easily be modified
- If targeted on a hostile creature, commands all minions to attack that creature
- If targeted on a location, commands all minions to move to that location
- If targeted on a friendly/neutral creature, commands all commands to move to
that creature's location. However, setting the "attackNeutral" variable to 1
will cause minions to attack neutral creatures if neutral creatures are targeted
