AutoStep - An Autowalk and Autofollow HUD
───────────────────────────◇
I put this little HUD together after spending way too much time holding down the forward key when I just wanted to enjoy a scenic region, type back to friends, or have total control over my walking speed. It lets you start and stop whenever you want, handles steps and hills with ease, and keeps your pace exactly where you set it at.
With version 1.1, I’ve also added an AutoFollow feature for when you're even tired of auto walking and just want to tag along with a friend. If they aren't on your friends list, no worries! The HUD will simply ask them for permission first. It’s perfect for following a tour guide or spontaneously starting a conga line!

Features:
─────◇
◈ Smoothly manages bumps, steps, and hills while keeping your speed perfectly consistent.
◈ AutoWalk: Quickly switch between Crawl, Walk, and Run presets, or type in a custom speed that works for you.
◈ AutoFollow: Follow your friends or request permission to follow anyone nearby.
◈ A simple, clean indicator that changes look to show you exactly when the AutoStep is on or off.
◈ A cute, colorful emoji menu that's easy to read at a glance!

How to use:
───────◇
◈ Toggle AutoStep: A quick tap on the HUD toggles your movement, or simply hit your 'Back' key to stop on a dime.
◈ Adjust Your Speed: Choose from the speed presets in the menu, set a custom speed, or use the included gestures for instant changes.
◈ Start Following: Select "Follow" in the menu and pick anyone within 10 meters to tag along, then adjust your follow distance to suit your vibe.
◈ Pause or Stop Following: Tap the HUD or hit 'Back' to pause; turning it back on will resume following your target. To stop completely, just select "Unfollow" in the menu.
◈ Gestures: Use the included gestures if you prefer keeping your hands off the HUD entirely!

Important:
──────◇
◈ This purchase includes the HUD only; any other items shown in the photos are for display purposes.
◈ While it handles hills and steps smoothly, SL physics can sometimes be a bit "weird," so very complex geometry might still trip it up!
◈ If your target starts flying when using Follow, you’ll "float" along with them! Your standard flying animations won’t automatically kick in.

Easy to use and very helpful!
I love being able to just meander around with this!! And the additional autofollow is a lifesaver, the only one I had before kept slamming me into my friend and pushing them around, with this one it keeps you at a reasonable distance without too heavily risking getting knocked into anything!!
