Disable follow?

Post by bushdaka » Sat Sep 18, 2004 11:47 pm

:?:

Just curious, but I've got a couple macro's that will start a toon to follow another, simple enough, but I can't figure out how to automatically stop a follow. If someone types in /follow ... is there some way to disable that without using a movement key?

In my macro I tried to move the char forward, back, etc but it stayed on follow. There is no /follow off darn it.

Just need a snippet of code to stop a /follow...

Code: Select all

/sit
/sit
should work or

Code: Select all

/keypress back
might work as well

Most follow macros i've seen stop when you clear the target.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, but most of them stink.

Well, just clearing the target didn't stop the /follow. I looked at those macros and they don't use /follow, they implemented their own follow so that they dont have to be grouped. So it works for those.

I ended up with the following, which works good enough. I have a flag that tells me when it's following someone and this code is executed only once per flag.

Code: Select all

  /sit
  /keypress back hold
  /delay 2s
  /keypress forward
