I liked your idea for the action so I implemented it, and reworked it, so that it was in working order again, although it has the same problem, here is the tweaked code. Code:

---

 string enemydot_mdl = <enemydot.mdl>;
var enemydot_pos[3];

entity* actors_pointer;
var actors_index = 0;
var my_actors[50];

entity* crosshair_pointer;
var my_crosshair[50];

var move_crosshair[3];

action enemydots
{
	my_crosshair[actors_index] = handle(my);			//actor already added one
	crosshair_pointer = ptr_for_handle(my_crosshair[actors_index]);
	crosshair_pointer.unlit = on;
	crosshair_pointer.ambient = 100;
	crosshair_pointer.passable = on;
	crosshair_pointer.visible = on;
	crosshair_pointer.z = 145;
	
	while(1)
	{
		wait(4);
		move_crosshair.x = actors_pointer.x - crosshair_pointer.x;
		move_crosshair.y = actors_pointer.y - crosshair_pointer.y;
		move_crosshair.z = 0;
		ent_move(move_crosshair, nullvector);
	}
}

function create_enemydot(actors_index1)
{
	sleep(.5);				//ent_create can't happen until .5 secs after level loads
	actors_pointer = ptr_for_handle(my_actors[actors_index1]); 	//minus 1, actor added one already
	enemydot_pos.x = actors_pointer.x;
	enemydot_pos.y = actors_pointer.y;
	enemydot_pos.z = 145;
	actors_index = actors_index1;
	ent_create(enemydot_mdl, enemydot_pos, enemydots);
}

action actor_walk_fight
{
	my_actors[actors_index] = handle(my);	//pointer to each actor
	actors_index += 1;		//put in the next number for the next actor
        ...main part of the actor's code here....
	create_enemydot(actors_index - 1);
}
