Problem - /Follow Can't turn off once on

When playing with other players (non-boxing) occasionally I use the /follow command and cannot figure out how to turn it off. I looked through the forums and /follow stop but that doesn't work... I just endlessly follow and end up having to camp out to fix it.

Also try /end, /nav stop.

if you are using afollow you need to /afollow off
with /folllow you can /follow off (or /afollow off if using mq2advpath which hijacks it)

kaen has some hotkeys you might consider making

Less:
/hot StopMe 13 /squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav stop; /play off; /travelto stop

/hot StopAll 13 /bcaa //squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav stop; /play off; /travelto stop...

/hot StopGrp 13 /bcga //squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav stop; /play off; /travelto stop

you can paste them in game and it will create 3 hotkeys for you

Thanks Sic. Must have missed one of the options.

It was just purely /follow which I dont know if it uses /afollow automatically...

yeah afollow hijacks the /follow command unfortunately - it does make for a better? experience, but hijacking stuff without saying so is something modern MQ development is trying to stear clear from
 
In case you didn't notice them, there are some handy buttons in the group menu too. One of which will broadcast to everyone on your dannet or eqbc to follow you and then you just hit it again to make them stop.
 
Default of advpath hijacking /follow is probably my top MQ pet peave, it's very unintuitive what's going on and how to turn it off the first time it happens to you.

Sometimes you just want look very very vanilla and have the default follow. Is advpath even loaded by default? Or does kiss load it?
