How do you make an object follow your exact movement, but delayed?

Wow, such an old post. I'm glad it help you out!

 

This helped me out a ton with my game. Quick question though, I'm making a 2d game like deltarune, and I'm trying to make a party follow system similar to what that has. It's top down, with pixel sprites and 8 directional movement, and I have code for the animations almost done, but the characters that are following in the party keep playing the walking animations after they stop, and I don't know how to fix it.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class FollowTheLeader : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject player;
8.     public int followDistance;
9.     private List<Vector3> storedPositions;
10.  
11.     public Animator thisAnimator;
12.     public Animator mcAnimator;
13.     public List<float> horAnimVectors;
14.     public List<float> vertAnimVectors;
15.     public List<float> spdAnimVectors;
16.     public List<float> spdmAnimVectors;
17.  
18.  
19.     void Awake()
20.     {
21.         storedPositions = new List<Vector3>();
22.         horAnimVectors = new List<float>();
23.         vertAnimVectors = new List<float>();
24.         spdAnimVectors = new List<float>();
25.         spdmAnimVectors = new List<float>();
26.     }
27.  
28.     void Start()
29.     {
30.  
31.     }
32.  
33.     void Update()
34.     {
35.         if (storedPositions.Count == 0)
36.         {
37.             storedPositions.Add(player.transform.position);
38.             horAnimVectors.Add(mcAnimator.GetFloat("Horizontal"));
39.             vertAnimVectors.Add(mcAnimator.GetFloat("Vertical"));
40.             spdAnimVectors.Add(mcAnimator.GetFloat("Speed"));
41.             spdmAnimVectors.Add(mcAnimator.GetFloat("SpeedMultiplier"));
42.             return;
43.         }
44.         else if (storedPositions[storedPositions.Count - 1] != player.transform.position)
45.         {
46.             storedPositions.Add(player.transform.position);
47.             horAnimVectors.Add(mcAnimator.GetFloat("Horizontal"));
48.             vertAnimVectors.Add(mcAnimator.GetFloat("Vertical"));
49.             spdAnimVectors.Add(mcAnimator.GetFloat("Speed"));
50.             spdmAnimVectors.Add(mcAnimator.GetFloat("SpeedMultiplier"));
51.         }
52.  
53.         if (storedPositions.Count > followDistance)
54.         {
55.             transform.position = storedPositions[0];
56.             storedPositions.RemoveAt(0);
57.  
58.             thisAnimator.SetFloat("Horizontal", horAnimVectors[0]);
59.             thisAnimator.SetFloat("Vertical", vertAnimVectors[0]);
60.             thisAnimator.SetFloat("Speed", spdAnimVectors[0]);
61.             thisAnimator.SetFloat("SpeedMultiplier", spdmAnimVectors[0]);
62.             horAnimVectors.RemoveAt(0);
63.             vertAnimVectors.RemoveAt(0);
64.             spdAnimVectors.RemoveAt(0);
65.             spdmAnimVectors.RemoveAt(0);
66.         }
67.     }
68. }

the "spd" and "spdm" floats are for speed and speed multiplier, for when the characters are moving and running.

I assume I need to do something with the "speed" float and change it in a different way than the other floats, but I'm not quite sure how? Any advice?

 

ok so I'm trying to use this thing called Mai Follower https://pinkbunny.tech/mai-follower/ which should be plug and play, but ever since dynamic bones changed to physbones it not longer works. It only works if you remove the HorizonDelay and VerticalDelay classes. the problem with those classes is that they lack a script. these two classes are supposed to emulate 'hovering' delay on the X and Y axes, to lag behind the player as they move. what script can I put in these two classes so I'm not getting compiler errors? thanks
