About KeepFollowing

KeepFollowing is an addon that will force you to keep following if you stop following and get back in range of the person you are following.

I made it for multiboxing, but will still work for a single character as well.

----
Basic Commands
----

/kfollow
-- will keep following the person you are targeting

/kfw stop
/kfollow stop
-- will stop keep following (will not stop regular follow)

/kfw <playername>
/kfollow tell grab,<playername>
-- will make <playername> keep following you (great for dual boxers)

/kfw (while targetting)
/kfollow tell forcefollow
-- will make the person you are targetting regular follow you. (great for afk'ers)

/kfw stopall
/kfollow tell stopall
/kfollow tell stop,<playername>
-- will make everyone or the person you specify stop auto following
-- blizzard will not let a macro stop you from following your current person
-- but once they move or get out of range, they will not keep following

Anyone can whisper "!kfollowme" to you, and you will attempt to keep following them if they are in your group.

(still confused?, just try it out! it's easy)
*note* "/kfollow tell" will only work if the other people in the group have the addon also.

-- Macros I use for my Multibox --

Macro 1 (On the leader) - My Main Follow Command:
/kfollow tell grab,necrolight

Macro 2 (On the leader) - My Stop Following Command:
/kfollow tell stop,necrolight

On character one I have Macro 2 bound to a key.
On character two I have "Move Backwords" set to the same key as char one.

In combination, its like having a hunter stay button and follow button.

    does this addon still fully work with 4.3?

    I have two clients open, and I can whisper the other character !kfollowme and they keep following.

    however this is not working:

    /kfollow tell grab,playernamehere

    I have ran /kfollow allowtell on both clients and it responds "Following Allowed" however "/kfollow tell" still is not working, and there is no feedback in the chat either... nothing happens at all.

    I am wondering if maybe there was a change in 4.3 that broke it, or maybe I am just not seeing something? but both clients respond "Following Allowed" and still no go.

  • #54

    I'm sorry, I forgot to upload the fix for it. It actually broke back in 4.1 I'll do that now. I also added a couple easier commands.

    /kfw help                   - list simple help menu
    /kfw                          - you stop following and all other will follow
    /kfw (while targetting) - will cause the <target> to follow
    /kfw <playername>     - will cause <playername> to follow
    /kfw all                      - all party members will follow you dispite your target
    /kfw stopall                - stop all followers
    /kfw stop                   - stop you from following

     

    Don't worry, you can still use all of the commands from before.

    Hi, I was wondering whether this was fixable.

    When I am using vehicles (like in Strand of the Ancients turrets and demos) I will occasionally start trying to follow myself over and over again. This is after I have used a command like /kfollow tell followme. The only way to stop this is to use the command /kfollow stop. Is there a way to automatically stop following whilst in a SotA vehicle or other such situations?
  • #49
    I will look into this right away (I'm off the next few days, and I've got time to spare before cata). By following "myself", do you mean your 'followees' are trying to follow you over and over, or is your'self' trying to follow your'self'?
  • #50
    saw the issue for myself; fixed v01.10.12.05
  • #51
    Thanks for fixing it :).

    Btw I noticed that there is a similar problem with the camels in the boss encounter with HOO, where my wife kept spinning on the spot.
  • #52
    I'll have to take a look :D

    Hi, loved using this AddOn for the last year or so.

    I was just wondering whether mount support is still working this patch? I have been getting errors in trying to make it work. I loved the implementation of this before (it was not spammy at all).

    I'll have to look into this, I'm sure it has to do with where the mounts are located now, instead of the character frame, the spellbook
  • #45
    found the issue.. workin on it
  • #46
    Mount support should be up and running now, as of v01.10.11.10
  • #47
    Thank you very much Necrosniper, you have gone beyond the call of duty for updating this AddOn :).
  • #41
