Standalone MQ2Nav based chase utility similar to CWTN chase mode.

Overview

Chases the specified player using MQ2Nav, because who likes that pesky afollow. Not much else to it. It will chase if the chase distance is exceeded and you are not currently:

  • Casting (unless you're a bard)
  • Auto attack on
  • AutoFire on
  • Hovering (dead)
  • Sticking to something
  • Already nav'ing somewhere

Intended for use when running something without an available chase mode, or characters outside of group or some other situation where your only option is typically afollow. Don't try to run this at the same time as something else which does chasing.

Installation

Manual Install

  1. Clone the repo or download the zip file linked above.
  2. Move chase.lua into the MQ lua folder.

RedGuides Launcher

Notes

Chase Target is used when Chase Role is set to None. Otherwise, Chase Target is ignored.

I picked some arbitrary upper/lower boundaries for the chase distance: 

Min distance == 15
Max distance == 300

The chase target uses ${Spawn[pc =%s]} when role is set to None, so it will only chase an exact match PC name.
