I'm not sure how much this is going to help you but take a look at this: www.garagegames.com/developer/torque/tge/. The last paragraph talks a little about AI which you may be able to implement something like this on your unit that follows, maybe having it attack or move with the unit it is following.

Well I just want to use the commands that are already present in the engine, but I want them to be activated by the crosshair GUI and the players position instead of the normal RTS mouse clicking and stuff.
I wanted to see if any one could figure out how to do this real easily.
