You surely noticed that it is possible to draw a few enemies out of a group for combat. The code excerpt above is used to let an NPC, who perceived an enemy, call nearby allies for help. However, flag AI_HELP_TEAM_STATUS is checked and set on OBJECT_SELF. Unless you clear this flag again, this results in every creature being able to call for one additional ally only, because excerpt above is used in a loop through all allies.
Quick fix: Comment out the SetLocalInt() call to set AI_HELP_TEAM_STATUS in a local copy of rules_core.nss and recompile. You should be aware of overriding core scripts. A custom fix could handle the call for help in a separate creature script. Be cautious, as crowded areas can become surprisingly funny with this fix.
Note: Replacing OBJECT_SELF with oAlly works as well but interferes with the call team for help system in ai_main_h_2.nss, line 594. This is: Setting the local variable AI_HELP_TEAM_STATUS to AI_HELP_TEAM_STATUS_ACTIVE (= 1), will get any team member having this flag set the same from anywhere on the map.
Edit: If you're using the roaming system or any system resetting NPCs, you might check to reset call for help flags as well.
