API FollowByName

Last wiki revision 2020-01-08

Start following a player by their name.

FollowByName("name", exactMatch);

  • ("name", exactMatch)
  • name : String - The name of the player to follow.
  • exactMatch : Boolean

FollowByName("Norrin", true);

  • If the given player name isn't nearby or doesn't exist, and exactMatch isn't set, FollowByName picks the closest match from characters nearby.
  • It is not possible to stop following someone from a script. The player needs to take action (move, jump, sit, whatever). See the page for FollowUnit.
  • See also FollowUnit
