set_smooth_follow

Prototypevoid set_smooth_follow(bool smooth_follow)

set_smooth_follow() will turn smooth following on-and-off depending on if smooth_follow is 1 or 0, respectively. Smooth following changes how sprites follow other sprites using sp_follow() and sp_target().

When smooth_follow is 0 (default behavior in 1.07 and earlier), a sprite will follow another sprite using lateral directions (up, down, left, and right with no diagonals).

When smooth_follow is 1, a sprite will follow another sprite using all directions, including diagonals.
