atomicActions
Class Follow

java.lang.Object
  atomicActions.AtomicAction
      atomicActions.Follow

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Follow
extends AtomicAction
implements Serializable

Sends FOLLOW to the global message channel thus provoking the Commandable bot to follow him, thought there should be some kind of handshake, where the commandable bot would send a confirmation of the reception -> e.g. when he spots the agent (when bot is sending it he only sees the commandable bot, not necesarily vice versa)
