Npc follow with command??

[Yelloyall]

I've been wanting to make a game with RMMV (i have the latest v) where the PC can call an NPC to them, specifically a parent call their child as if they had wandered off. The NPC wouldn't be a part of the party tho and would only walk to the players position and stay there until called again.

Is this something a plugin or scripts could accomplish or would it be better to try events? Is this even possible w/in mv?? Im very new to the program and have only made very simple projects till now.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, long time reader first time poster!!

The closest thing I could think of for this would be Himeworks Guest Followers. It can be found here:

It allows you to add non-combat, non-party members to your group. In other words, you see the NPC walk around with you but they cannot participate in anything the PC does.

it can be done with pure eventing, but has a limit then.

you can make an event with two pages, one that is on player approach and event touc and switches to the no movement page on touch.

The limit is that the pathfinding of the approach function is extremely bad and it will be easy to get stuch at the wrong part of the map.
But that can be circumvented with more complex events and a pathfinding plugin.

Do you have any recommendations for pathfinding plugins?

Thank you both for your help!! Im gonna get to work as soon as I can!!
