According to the Biki, the FOLLOW waypoint is similar in function to doFollow/commandFollow, in which case, you would use it to make a unit rejoin its given formation. In your example, just give Squad 2 its own MOVE waypoint - it involves the same amount of work.

 

Many BIS commands/functions are named in misleading ways. Always read the Biki entry.

Well, now I'm just confused.

How on earth did this guy do it????

So, there's not a single source of information on the internet that can help me understand the "FOLLOW" waypoint. As far as I'm concerned, it's absolutely useless. I've tried using it with infantry/vehicles, and it just doesn't do s--t. Does anybody have a single clue as to what I'm suppose to do with it?

Here's what I'm doing as a simple example:
1. Create Squad 1, and Squad 2.
2. Create a "MOVE" waypoint 300 meters forward for Squad 1.
3. Create a "FOLLOW" waypoint for Squad 2, and snap it to Squad 1.

Result:
Squad 1 moves. Squad 2 stands and does absolutely nothing. You can do this with vehicles aswell, and it's the same issue.


I'm obviously frustrated.
