Features:

-Ability to follow another players with two simple clicks

-Path detection mode ("follow around corners" allows the plugin to follow through dungeons

-Customizable follow range

-Running using virtual keypresses provides for the fastest following possible, while a slower fallback mode [similar to previous autofollow methods] allows the plugin to continue following when the user is typing into the chatbox

-Fully multi-client compatible

My patron tested this last night, following my character through the King 4 quest (he had never run the quest before). He said he didn't have to touch the keyboard at all through all of the twists and turns in the dungeon, and every time I looked, bam, there he was right next to me.


Now in this particular instance, I was occasionally stopping to fight, but he wasn't. Does the plug-in resume still work if he engages in combat, as well?

It should completely ignore combat state. So, if it runs you within range and you do some fighting and then the person runs away again, it should continue to follow them as long as you keep follow enabled.


There's one thing I may want to change, though, depending on how people want to use this:


Right now, the range setting is used for everything, including distance to waypoints. So if you set the range really high, you're not going to be able to follow people through dungeons; you'll end up running against a wall. Perhaps today I'll add a second setting for waypoint range, or just shorten it to always be some small value.

This sounds awesome


A few Things it'd be cool to see (if it doesnt have it yet... i havnt tried it yet)


The ability for the plug-in to know when to jump and at what power...


and for the plug-in to recognize commands from the person you are targeted to follow:


Commands like, Stop, Go (in case they have to back track and dont want the little guy to follow him up a ramp then back down...), and Wait [time] (it keeps track of the waypoints, and waits x sec/min then continues to follow the target) to start
