TargetlessFollow.mac

Here is a macro I made actually a while back, but it turned into a mage macro I'm working on, and I forgot to save the original. So, here is what I remade from that code.

This is a follow macro, but it doesn't require you to have the person you are following targeted. I didn't put in any condition for stopping this macro, other than if the toon you should be following is not in the zone (they zoned, died, etc.) so, if you want to stop the macro, do it the good old fashioned way with /endm

I thought of making it into a snippet, and I may still do something to that effect later, but I thought it was a decent macro for now, as is, as a very simple follow macro. In theory, you could have it running and still cast on stuff, attack, and whatnot... although it wouldn't work incredibly well that way because it will just take off running if the character is out of range. Anyway, without further ado,

Code: Select all
