Is there a command that will make one object follow another? The "Set Camera to Follow" command works great and I would think that there would be a command that does the same thing with an objects instead of the camera but don't seem to see it.

you could reference a camera other than 1 to acheive a similar result and not output that cameras result.

the extra object could be glued to the first object or attached as a limb object.

with maths it could be positioned in accordance with the other object

u could feed the 2nd object the 1st objects x y and z positions but offset what ever dimension you wanted it be a distance from the other object.

A command like that probably wouldnt hurt tho.

Oh my god that was so simple I can't believe I didn't think of it!

Thanks again! Sometimes you just need to point out the obvious for some of us hehe.
