# Follow Event

The Follow Event is used to create interactions where objects will follow either the cursor or another object.

Here are the different properties of a Follow Event.

* **Target** - What the object will follow, either the cursor or another object.
* **Plane** - To what plane should the object movement be restricted to.
* **Damping** - Makes the follow effect lag behind whatever it is tracking.
* **Offset** - a distance offset from the cursor to the object that is following it.
* **Translation** - on what axis will the following object move.
* **View Reset** - If the object should reset back to its original position or not when the mouse is out of the canvas.
* **Speed** - The speed of the reset to the original position, if hover out is selected.
* **Create Object Action** - while the following object is moving you can trigger a create object action.

If following another object there are also the Distance Limit properties.

* **Distance** - The distance of where the follow event will work in, past that distance the object will stop following.
* **Delay** - the amount of time before the object starts following the other if within the defined distance.
