Follow the Leader

A Foundry VTT module that allows one token to follow another using advanced pathfinding powered by routinglib. Ideal for automating NPC companions, minions, or party movement.

  • 🎯 Select a token, hover over another, and press F — the selected token will begin following the target.
  • 🎯 Press F again, or hover over the follower and press F, to cancel following.
  • ⛔ Automatically stops following when following token moves manually.
  • ⛔ Automatically stops following when combat begins.
  • 🛠️ Configurable settings UI

🚧 Feature Roadmap

  • 🚶 Maintain a configurable distance behind the leader.
  • ➕ Resume following after combat
  • 🧩 Additional pathing options and LOS behaviors
  • 🚶 Smoother animated movement rather than "teleporting" tokens.
