# follow(_:duration:)

Creates an action that moves the node along a relative path, orienting the node to the path.

```
class func follow(_ path: CGPath, duration: TimeInterval) -> SKAction
```

## Parameters

`path`

A Core Graphics path whose coordinates are relative to the node’s current position.

`duration`

The duration of the animation.

## Return Value

A new action object.

## Discussion

Calling this method is equivalent to calling the [`follow(_:asOffset:orientToPath:duration:)`](/documentation/SpriteKit/SKAction/follow(_:asOffset:orientToPath:duration:)) method, passing in <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> to both the `offset` and `orient` parameters.

This action is reversible; the resulting action creates and then follows a reversed path with the same duration.
