If the 'following' object has its move route set to follow you and you have the problem that it is going to far, you might possibly have the move route set to 'Repeat Action.' If so, click the box to disable repeat. There is a very simple method to make an object follow you that I just found.
Edit the events for whatever objects you want to follow you and create two event pages. On the first page, leave it on all of the default settings, like action button, fixed move route, ect. Then, create an event command (still on the first page) and insert text. (This is optional, if you don't want text, exclude this part) Make the text say something like:
Do you wish for this item to follow you? And have a yes/no option. When no is selected, make it 'branch end,' and when yes is selected, create a switch for the 'Control Switches' setting, and set it to ON.
Now over to page 2! In the top left corner, tick the 'Switches' box, and set it to your newly made switch. Then go down to the 'Autonomous Movement' and set the type to custom. Edit the move route so its only options are 'Turn Toward Player' (As the first option) and 'Move Toward Player' (As the second) and remember to keep the repeat action ticked. (Despite what I said above
) Click okay and exit out of the event. This will hopefully work!
This seems like an interesting idea, with the 'Telekinesis Ball Thing,' and I look forward to seeing it in action!
