Any way to /follow a npc? : SWG Premium Discussions

[wieli10]

As far as i know there is no way to /follow an npc in the game so if there is im sorry, would it be possible with an autoit script in some way? i cant figure out really how it would be possible to target the nps with the mouse (hold the aim over npc)

Middle click the NPC, or do /follow <name>

You can't follow reds, though.

ye it was the reds i wanted to follow, would be nice to grind on some spots.

You can still follow reds if you move your mouse over them and type follow, so thats why i was hoping it would be possible to do some kind of autoit for it.

If you have your cursor on the circle, I'm pretty sure you can attack as long as you have them targeted.

[wieli10]

ye it works like that, and it works like that on follow too, the problem is ofcourse to get the cursor on your target. If this was possible, you wouldnt need to stay on static spawns for afk, or static spawns where the npc is ranged, so you would need to get closer to loot etc.

Its alot easier than this.. your target id is clientside which gets sent to the server, lock the value usin some algorithm (example: closest target with name 'blah'.) then issue the follow command. If that fails just hover different targets with your mouse and look for values changing thats bigger or equal to 4bytes, then you have found your target id,... if that works its basicly the follow command sending your target id in the packet which can also be explioted via a packet hack or proxy.

Wouldn't the send be blocked because the target ID is a red in that case? Well, assuming you mean sending the command by ingame means (/follow). If you mean sending it in another way, I don't think that's easier for most of us
