Not sure about following the player, but for line of sight, are you sure that it's disregarding the waterblock when it does a raycast? In the water, a player is inside the waterblock object, so unless you have that mask screened out, los functions may not see the player.

yeah, I added
$TypeMasks::WaterObjectType
to his scripted raycasting, now he follows me into the water, and even swims when he enters the water.
lovely, thanks Ted.
