| ===== Full Definition(s) =====
| |
| * call '''Follow'''(''(CHARACTER)'''''_Follower''', ''(CHARACTER)'''''_Leader''')
| |
|
| |
|
| ===== Description =====
| |
| Makes '''_Follower''' start following '''_Leader'''.
| |
|
| |
| ===== Notes =====
| |
| * Preferably use [[Osiris/Shared/PROC_Follow|PROC_Follow]] from the Shared mod. This will ensure that '''_Follower''''s following behaviour gets suspended when it enters combat, and resumed afterwards.
| |
| * Use [[Osiris/API/StopFollow|StopFollow]] to stop the following behaviour (or [[Osiris/Shared/PROC_StopFollow|PROC_StopFollow]] if you used [[Osiris/Shared/PROC_Follow|PROC_Follow]]).
| |
| * Make sure to stop following a previous character before starting to follow a new one. [[Osiris/Shared/PROC_Follow|PROC_Follow]] will automatically take care of this.
| |
| * Note that this call does ''not'' turn '''_Character''' in a so-called [[Party_Followers|party follower]] or minion, which is done via [[Osiris/API/AddPartyFollower|AddPartyFollower]]. The difference between "regular followers" (as created by this routine) and party followers/minions is that regular followers simply follow any other character around (you can have one NPC follow another one, if you want), while party followers/minions always follow a player-controlled character and can be partially controlled by the [[Osiris/API/GetReservedUserID|user]] that controls this player character.
