|tName= Follow

|vNum= 1.2.4

|type= Main task

|for= Airplanes, Helicopters
|avail= All air tasks

|desc= Controlled aircraft will follow the assigned group along their route in formation. If the assigned group is on the ground the AI will orbit overhead. If assigned to a flight lead or group its wingmen will stay in their specified formation.

|form= This task needs to be in the following format.

Follow = {
id = 'Follow',
params = {
groupId = Group.ID,
pos = Vec3,
lastWptIndexFlag = boolean,
lastWptIndex = number
}
}

'''Required parameters''':

groupId: unique groupId.

pos: Vec3 point defining the relative position the controlled flight will form up on. For racetrack orbits, it is best to be back and to the right.

--Need to add more details on the xyz coords so people better understand the positioning.

'''Optional Parameters''': None

lastWptIndexFlag : if true the AI will follow the group until it reaches a specified waypoint.

lastWptIndex : Identifies the waypoint at which the following group will stop its task.
|enum= N/A
|exam=

|notes= See article [[Mission Editor: AI Tasking]] for more information on how AI tasking is handled within DCS.
