FollowMe 1.6
Dedicated to Spycy...the inspiration for this AddOn, the hottest gamer I know and love of my life
Author: Kinyen (THE original)
eMail: [email protected]
===============================================================================
This AddOn allows party or raid members to put you on auto-follow -- useful
for people who suddenly go AFK without telling anyone. This AddOn is
especially useful for those who two-box; it makes driving a lot easier .
Normally, players can auto-follow any other player, but since this AddOn
allows other people to control you, it purposely is restricted to members of
your party or raid.
FollowMe requires the follow commands to be at the beginning of whisper
(i.e. "!follow"). That way if someone is whispering directions to you like
"Simply follow the path south", you won't automatically start following them.
These commands are supported:
"/fm announce" - announces to your party that you have this AddOn.
"/fm enable" - Allows others to put you on auto-follow.
"/fm disable" - Does not allow others to put you on auto-follow.
"/fm tellgroup [on | off]- Turns on (or off) the sending of auto-follow
messages to your group.
"/fm status" - Reports the status of FollowMe (enabled,
disabled, who is being followed).
"/fm unbusy" - Clears the busy-list. USE CAREFULLY!
If someone wishes to put you on auto-follow, they simply need to send
a whisper (usually via a macro button) with "!follow". When the AddOn
sees this command, it will attempt to auto-follow the whisper sender.
The received whisper can be one of:
"!follow" - Puts auto-follow on the whisper sender
"!status" - whispers the status (enabled/disabled and AddOn version) to
the sender. If following, will report who is being followed.
NOTES:
FUTURE PLANS
to manually do something that will manipulate the character -- for
example, pressing a movement key, right-click to move,
right-click-and-drag (change camera), etc. As of update 1.6, all
movement functions have been disabled if called from an AddOn.
Outrunning the follower, however, will eventually cancel auto-follow.
Examples:
which will cancel the mounts. The leader then runs back outside,
gets on their mount and they will eventually outrun you.
etc. they will eventually outrun you and autofollwo will cancel.WARNING: Doing either of these two techniques could possibly get
you stuck out in the wilderness, unprotected.
They simply tell the addon to allow or not allow someone to put you on auto-follow.
"requestor" of this. Once the casting operation is done, you will
start to follow the requestor.
trainer, merchant or bank will prevent others from putting you on
auto-follow.
you can use a mount -- i.e. 30+ character and outside. There is still
no way for the AddOn to summon the mount if it's not the result of a
hardware operation like a key-press or mouse-click.
need someone else to do the translations .
a mount, etc.
AddOn toggles (don't hold your breath -- I hate designing GUIs).
development, or nothing at all .

It's not a combat decision and anything that can be done with Lua is not illegal by default.
(where that's not the case it is specifically mentioned like cross-faction communication was) If blizzard doesn't like an action performed by addons they make it require a hardware event (like a key or mouse press) or outright protect it. |

Since this automates an in-game function, isn't it illegal?

FollowMe 1.6 TOC is incorrect.
I forgot to update the description in the TOC file - it still says 1.52. This is purely cosmetic and has no affect on the functioning code, therefore I'm not uploading a new file. If this is a concern, you can simply go to the Interface\AddOns\FollowMe folder and edit the FollowMe.toc file with Notepad. Change the 1.52 to 1.6, or simply remove the number altogether.

Small bug fix.
Please download version 1.51. I found a bug with the mount-warning code.

If you type "/fm tellgroup off" it will turn off group-spam. The Blizzard built-in auto-follow function is what gets called when someone sends you the "!follow" whisper. This triggers the "AUTO_FOLLOW_BEGIN" event, which is trapped by the FollowMe code and initiates all the group/whisper chat.
The funny side affect of this design is when you start to follow someone, it will tell them even if they didn't initiate the auto-follow via "!follow". A few people have mentioned that the whispers and group chat tend to be a little spammy, so I will add an option to turn off whispers to the "leader". Just remember...if someone doesn't realize you are following them, you could end up falling off a cliff... . BTW -- If you think it's chatty now, imagine if I went with my original (nagging) idea of sending the FollowMe announcement to the group every time someone joined or left...lol...I quickly dumped that idea because it became too annoying, even for me...

I changed line 39 to "off" instead on "on". That seemed to stop the whispers and group spam. (I need to test more.)
Perhaps, it should be default off? I have always had follow bound to my "f" key...and I was grouped with a stranger and hit "f" to follow them...and they were spammed "whispers" and "group" for them to "follow me"? I love the functionality of this addon and have been looking for something like it for awhile. As a parent, I have to go afk more often than I would like, and I don't like holding back my group to wait on lil ole me and all. I am just not sure about the whispers and group spam. Looking forward to future releases! |

I plan on doing this. The reason I haven't is because the code is a pain in the butt to manage. As I have learned a lot about Lua since I've started AddOns, I feel that the code could use some revamping in order to make it more flexible . Also, there are some future features I plan on adding that might have to wait for the code rewrite. These features would definitely be options that players would want to be persistent.

Hi, would it be possible to have this remember settings? I prefer to keep tellgroup set on off, but I have to set it to off every time I log in, because it defaults back to on.
And ditto on the possibility to disable the tell. I like that for when someone puts me on follow, but I hate it when I'm constantly spamming people because I'm personally going auto follow on them. So sometimes it would be nice to toggle the tells off. Love the mod, though |

Great Addon
Good job on this Addon. It's one of those things that you never realized you need until you get it, then you can't live without it. (It's a "Customer Delighter" in marketing-speak.)
The only suggestions I have are to have an option to disable the whisper announce to the target that they are being followed. I've noticed that when I choose to follow someone (I use a hotkey) it will whisper to them that they are being followed. Keep up the good work! |
