[RM2K3] CATERPILLAR HELP

* I'm using a modification of rusty's tried and true caterpillar system.

I'm integrating 8 directional movement pretty well, but I'm experiencing some difficulty getting the other party members to trace the heros exact steps behind him. It's kind of hard to explain.

The way I have it set up now is functional but I don't think it's as good as it could possibly be.

I've been screwing with this off and on forever now and I REALLY need to find out if I'm going to implement this feature or not, before I go into heavy graphics production.

I'm looking for someone experienced with x,y stuff, that is willing to lend a hand.
Ideally, we would chat on aim or something that would be easier than forum posting a million times back and forth.

Anyone who can help me get this working the way I'm shooting for will receive a birthday card with 10 bucks in it. ;)
