Keep Following

NB! If anyone is experiencing issues regarding the v0.21.1 release, you can find and manually install a previous version from the GitHub releases page.

[table] [tr] [th][h3]Default Keys[/h3][/th] [th][h3]Actions[/h3][/th] [/tr] [tr] [th]Shift + LMB[/th] [td]to keep following[/td] [/tr] [tr] [th]Shift + Ctrl + LMB[/th] [td]to keep pushing[/td] [/tr] [/table]

To stop following, either use the WASD movement keys, the SPACEBAR action key, or click LMB.

You can also use the above key combinations on a Tent or Siesta Lean-to used by another player to keep following or pushing them.

Why can't I move while being pushed?

Cause: Lag compensation (movement prediction) is enabled. Solution: Disable lag compensation (movement prediction).

First of all, I am sorry to hear that you experienced this. Most likely, you ran into this issue when someone was using this mod for 'trolling' purposes. It is regrettable that there are people with such a mentality, and I am strongly against using this mod for such malicious purposes. I cannot control people's behaviour, and the tool itself is not the problem here.

If you encounter this issue, disabling lag compensation (movement prediction) should resolve it.

Keep Moving

Some people have messaged me about the KeepMoveOrFollow mod, requesting the feature to keep moving by holding an action key.

Even though both mods share some similarities, this mod did not originate from that one. Had that been the case, I would have mentioned it from the beginning. I am not planning to add the 'keep moving' functionality because, from an engineering perspective, it is a completely different feature, unlike the following/pushing mechanism.

However, if you still feel that you need 'keep moving' functionality, let me know in the comments below, and I will create a separate mod for it with some additional features.

Contributions & Development

Any contribution to the project is highly appreciated, whether it is a new feature addition or just a small typo fix.
