[DiscordArchive] they have "override", do you know what that means in this case and in C++ in general ?

I'm still practicing, so I'll look for examples and put something together. I've got half the battle. The only thing missing is that it runs through the waypoint, and that's the only thing that doesn't work.
Override means overwriting functions or something like that.

it means the base class already has an implementation that you don't want to use and want to provide your own

All I see in the console is EscortAI::Start: (script: npc_frosthound) is set to return home after waypoint end and instant respawn at waypoint end. Creature will never despawn (GUID Full: 0xF1500073ED000380 Type: Vehicle Entry: 29677 Low: 896)
The escortAI appears to start, but the NPC isn't running.

so ideally you should check what you are removing from that AI with every override

I have removed everything I don't need but it still doesn't work.

it's more about understanding what you add/remove than trying different random things

It's hard to learn something when you don't know where the error lies. If someone tells me the solution I'm struggling with, then I can learn from it for the future, but as it is, it's a 50/50 chance that it will work.
