Able to /follow /assist players on vehicles / mounts now

[Tonyx]

I don't use focus, I use FTL with explicit names (which should be the same as what you did), and I am pretty sure 3 days ago follow wasn't working (the pony could be followed but coulnd't follow). Haven't tried since then. I'll do some experiments again later tonight.

I haven't had a lot of luck with vehicles either(also FTL with explicit names). Follow on Argent mounts isn't working for me either. I did the Storm Peaks quest as the burrowing Jormungar, and had to finish it old-style, i.e. tank stayed on foot while the rest of the party followed her around in wormy form.

I did some experiments. Looks like that while you are on the Argent Pony, /follow works but /target doesn't. Since a typical FTL setup uses /target and then /follow, that's why it isn't working. I tried a /follow <name> macro and it worked like a charm. Looks like FTL needs a revision.

I find that if I mount up my 3 slaves at the argent tourney and then mount up my main, they maintain /follow.

This has worked consistently for me since I discovered it. Mounting my main first results in this not working. additionally, if follow breaks for whatever reason it leads to... difficulties.

Just add a quick /follow <main_name> macro on a space key. When mounted on those ponies follows tend to break easily.

Wow, all these posts about problems just makes me glad I use Jamba ... Of course it makes sense, Jamba doesn't /target /follow, it just /follows Name.

Good catch, thanks for posting the solution. Time for some custom macros!

Just wanted to post an update.

After reading over everyone's tips, I found that by making this macro, everything worked fine.

/follow party1
/assist party1

I added the second line to make it easier for myself doing the killing the lieutenant /scout quests near corp'rethar (sp?). without a stack of defense up, and pulling with 5 shield breakers followed with 5 thrust, and the lieutenant goes down usually in the first pass.

also this way, if I switched main, that macro still works. Thanks to all for their feedback and hope that this macro is of help to those who are having trouble.

Ok I am frustrated. I had this working once before and ever since I had to reinstall wow due to a HD failure, I can't seem to remember what I did to get it to work.

I am using Bartender and Jamba. When I mount the ponies I see the normal 1-5 and = Buttons. I can not remember how to bind /follow party1
/assist party1 to a key so that I can start doing the pony dailies again. Can someone help me with detailed instructions ?
