# FollowPathCommand

This command allows you to easily follow a Path or PathChain.

If a Path is supplied, it will simply convert it to a PatchChain first, and then follow that.

It has four parameters, with the first two being mandatory:

1. Pedro Pathing's Follower (which controls the robot movement) 
2. The Path or PathChain to follow

```java
new FollowPathCommand(follower, pathChain)
```

3. An optional boolean parameter called holdEnd that decides whether or not the robot should hold its position at the end of the Path (default value is true if not supplied)

```java
new FollowPathCommand(follower, pathChain, true)
```

4. An optional double parameter called maxPower that sets the maximum power the robot will run at for the path

```java
new FollowPathCommand(follower, pathChain, true, 0.5)
```

You can use a decorater to set the globalMaxPower for the follower as follows:

```java
new FollowPathCommand(follower, pathChain).setGlobalMaxPower(0.5)
```

Setting the Global Maximum Power sets the maximum power `globalMaxPower` for all future paths (unless rewritten again). However, setting the `maxPower` as a parameter in `FollowPathCommand` overwrites `globaMaxPower` for that path only.    

To see how you can use this command in a [`CommandOpMode`](/0.3.3/command-base/command-system/robot-and-commandopmode.md#commandopmode), you can look at this [example](https://github.com/FTC-23511/SolversLib/blob/master/examples/src/main/java/org/firstinspires/ftc/teamcode/PedroCommandSample/PedroCommands.java). For usage in a full Autonomous Program, look at this [example](https://github.com/FTC-23511/SolversLib/blob/public-beta/examples/src/main/java/org/firstinspires/ftc/teamcode/PedroCommandSample/PedroAutoSample.java), and for a full TeleOp Program, at this [example](https://github.com/FTC-23511/SolversLib/blob/public-beta/examples/src/main/java/org/firstinspires/ftc/teamcode/PedroCommandSample/PedroTeleOpSample.java).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.seattlesolvers.com/0.3.3/pedro-pathing/pedro-commands/followpathcommand.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
