Start following a player by their name.
 
FollowByName("name", exactMatch);
 
 
== Parameters ==
===Arguments===
 
:("name", exactMatch)
 
:;name : String - The [[API TYPE PlayerName|name]] of the player to follow.
:;exactMatch : Boolean
 
== Example ==
 
FollowByName("Norrin", true);
 
== Details ==
 
* If the given player name isn't nearby or doesn't exist, and '''exactMatch''' isn't set, FollowByName picks the closest match from characters nearby.
 
* 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]] for FollowUnit().
 
* See also [[API FollowUnit|FollowUnit]]()
