Behavior

If the target is an actor, the actor will travel to within the specified Distance, then:

  • If the target is the player, the actor will attempt to move towards the Destination, waiting whenever the player moves outside the Distance. If the player is closer to the destination, the actor should continue to move towards the target as well.
  • Otherwise, the actor will put a special follow package on the target(s) and will then begin moving towards the Destination, maintaining the specified Distance.


If the target is an object (or objects), the actor will search for the object(s) in the Search Location, if allowed. Otherwise, the actor will pick up the object, then travel to the Destination and drop the object.
