Basically, as Ægion hinted, what you need to do is, basically either:
- Make your Pathfinders' antenna also spawn an actual_retreat_point_mp
- Or, add* "alternate_retreat_point" to your pathfinder beacon types (ie.., where you define whether something is a building, a machine gun, infantry, etc, etc)

* In order to assign a particular class type to a unit turn one of the <null> values into the desired class type. The order probably doesn't matter.

If you want to take this idea a step further (e.g,. only Airborne troops should be allowed to retreat to Beacons; everybody else has to fall back to the Major), do the following:
- Instead of "alternate_retreat_point" assign a type of "coho_raid_3" to your pathfinder antenna (coho_raid_3 is just a unit type that isn't used by anything else, so it's safe to use for that)
- Go to your paratrooper SBPS file and look under retreat_ext. Somewhere in that list, the types of valid retreat points for paratroopers are "hq" and "aternate_retreat_point"; in that list, also add "coho_raid_3" to the list of candidate destinations.

Hi ChosenOne:

The problem that you have is, you need to give the unit the parachute. This could be done editing the .abp file of pathfinder.

I will save you some time in advance, you could give this unit the parachute but the entity not support the animation anyway.

How to do it ? Here I will leave you a video from Eliwood about how to edit .abp files. I recomend to you to watch it.

Eliwood abp file edition

After learn about how to edit .abp files here is the line that you introduce to your pathfinders.abp file to show the parachute:

"..\\..\\props\\parachute\\parachute",

Best luck

It's strange the these actions disappeared while cloning, but they're also easily added back. The actions are 'always_on_abilties' and are located here:

Heal: abilities\aef\always_on_ability\medic_auto_heal
Repair: abilities\aef\always_on_ability\vehicle_crew_auto_repair

You have to add them to 'squad_abilities_ext' in your squad in 'sbps'.
