-Can only follow allies
-Q: Is there a way to stop following from a script?  Before patch 1.6 you could issue a movement command to stop following, but that is no longer an option.
+Start following an allied unit
+  FollowUnit("[[API_TYPE_UnitId|unit]]")
--------------
+== Arguments ==
-A: Try this:
+:;unit: String - the [[API_TYPE_UnitId|UnitID]] to follow, e.g. "target", "party1", "raid1", etc..
-/script MoveForwardStart(0)
-/script MoveForwardStop(0)
-Which starts you moving (thus breaking the follow), and then immediately stops (Which means you stay in one place).
+== Details ==
-------------
-Nope, that doesn't work.  Movement functions were disabled as of 1.6.
+* To stop following someone: <code>( FollowUnit("player") )</code>
--------------
+** <s>It is '''not possible''' to ''stop'' following someone from a script. The player needs to take action (move, jump, sit, whatever). See the [[Talk: API FollowUnit|{{discussiontab}} page]].</s>
-And become impossible with 1.10
+* For historical reference, see also [[API FollowByName|FollowByName]](), which has been removed from the API.
