Changing the speed of 'Gather Followers'

[Kes]

I've been looking at the default script Game_Follower to see if it was obvious where the speed of gathering was defined, because I want them to be gathered at a slightly slower speed than default. However, there isn't anything that a scripting idiot like me can home in on, as line #43 just refers to real_move_speed

I have a snippet from @Trihan which adjusts real_move_speed to reduce the speed of dash,

Game_CharacterBase.class_eval do
  def real_move_speed
    @move_speed + (dash? ? 0.8 : 0)
  end
end

and I'm wondering if there might be something similar for gathering followers.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

AFAIK, follower move speed inherits from the player movement speed. So, if you change the player movement speed temporarily, it should also change the follower move speed temporarily.

I don't use followers so I'm not sure how accurate is that.

def real_move_speed
    @move_speed + (dash? ? 0.8 : (self.is_a?(Game_Follower) && $game_player.followers.gathering?) ? YOUR MOD VALUE HERE : 0)
  end

@TheoAllen Thank you for the suggestion. I thought of doing that, but then I would have to be able to determine if the player is walking or dashing each and every time so as to be able to put the speed back to the player's preference after, which would get a bit tricky, and probably tiresome as well.

@Trihan That does it. They no longer look utterly manic. Thank you. Your help is much appreciated.
