I was able to figure out the problem with scripthook.NET. I deleted BOTH dll files in the C:\V Creator\Files\DLLS directory and replaced it with the most current version of scripthook.NET and compiled this new test code to get a ped to follow me that I aimed at. Works flawless! Thank you

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using GTA;
using GTA.Native;
using GTA.Math;

namespace ModName // IMPORTANT REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR MODS NAME
{
public class Main : Script
{
/// These variables are for Mod Information on startup
bool firstTime = true;
string ModName = "MOD NAME";
string Developer = "YOUR NAME";
string Version = "1.0";

public Main()
{
Tick += onTick;
KeyDown += onKeyDown;
Interval = 1;
}

private void onTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Mod info
if (firstTime)
{
UI.Notify(ModName + " " + Version + " by " + Developer + " Loaded");
UI.Notify(ModName + " created with ~g~FIFASam's~w~ \"GTA 5 Mod Creator\"");
firstTime = false;
}
// start your script here:

}

private void onKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.J)
{
Player targetPlayer = Game.Player;
Ped playerPed = Game.Player.Character;
PedGroup playerGroup = playerPed.CurrentPedGroup;
Entity targetPed = targetPlayer.GetTargetedEntity();
bool isPed = false;

isPed = Function.Call<bool>(Hash.IS_ENTITY_A_PED, targetPed);

if(isPed == true)
{
Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_AS_GROUP_MEMBER, targetPed, playerGroup);
Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_COMBAT_ABILITY, targetPed, 100);
UI.Notify("Ped Added");
}

} // anything inside of the brackets happen when j is pressed
}

}
}
