How to cancel MoveToObjectFollow

[Lauriel]

MoveToObjectFollow works great for what I need, but once my NPC starts following the other, I can't get it to stop.  Neither NPC is in the PC's party.  I put the following into the override script but it didn't fire.  I put it in the area script, it wouldn't fire.  The override script will fire if I leave the area and come back, so I know it works...except it doesn't when I need it to.  How do I get him to stop following?

Here's my override script block:

Spoiler

IF
	AreaCheck("<SOMEAREA>")
	Global("#L_FollowingXXX","MYAREA",1)
	See("<SOMEGUY>")
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("#L_FollowingXXX","MYAREA",0)
		MoveToPoint([530.3760])
END

Use ActionOverride?

Actually, yeah.  I moved the script (modified of course), to another NPC and it worked.  I have no idea why it didn't work in the area script.  I probably did something stupid like forgetting to actually compile the thing.  Thank you for prompting me to try the script elsewhere.  It turns out I even like it much better where it is now than my previous solution.

If it was in the area script, you ordered the area to check what it sees and move.

LOL - no, I used TriggerOverride even though I didn't specify that in the post.  I can be dense sometimes, but not that dense in this case.   I seriously think I forgot to compile it...which is dense enough. LOL
