Control Summon - Controlling other players summons

Issue Description:
The control summon tool sometimes allows you to move/control other player's summons if they are in your party. I think only one summon can be controlled by the party at once so if I try to order my summon around sometimes it'll order around other player's summons. I will try to do some tests IG to determine more details of this bug. Apologies that this is light on details at the moment.

Additional Potentially Related Issue:
The control summon tool sometimes only works for the first summon you have, even if you target other summons to control. Not sure exactly why this is.

Can confirm both of these issues as reliably repeatable. I've got a feeling something in it is looking for FirstPCInParty or something like that. Probably just a simple fix? I've been meaning to make a post about it, but I keep forgetting.

Any idea of where to start because I don’t.

I could look at the script- doesn't seem like it would be a hard fix, as it'd just be a check for if the player using the tool is the master of the creature being targetted.

Then again, everything seems easy till you look at the script.

Just a friendly ping on this.

We have about 3-4 summoners that're constantly interfering with one another's summons, it's incredibly frustrating at times, the core AI for these things is incredibly dumb and often ignores attack/retreat/stay commands issued through the radial menu. It leads to balls of summons just blocking people and getting in the way of everything. :P

Not a huge priority, I know, just a friendly reminder!
