Follows a friendly player unit.

FollowUnit(unit)

Arguments

unit

string : UnitId - The unit to follow.

Details

• You can stop follow by following the player itself: FollowUnit("player"). This can have side effects if the character is in a vehicle.
• It is not possible to stop following someone from a script. The player needs to take action (move, jump, sit, whatever). See the Discussion page.

• For historical reference, see also FollowByName(), which has been removed from the API.
