Shaz's Smart Path - 8 directions possible?

[Papillon]

So I've been trying to create an event that followers the player no matter where they are and for that I've been using Shaz's Smart Path plugin. While it does work to an extent I've noticed that if the player walks off in a diagonal direction the event is only able to move in cardinal directions and lags behind the player.
I've tried searching for a solution and found this but it doesn't seem to work.

So is there any way to get Smart Path to move in diagonal directions, or is there any other pathfinding plugin capable of doing so?

The plugin uses the function that handles clicking a tile and making the player walk to that tile. It only uses 4 directions by default, because that's what MV does, by default.

To have diagonal movement for the player, you must have another plugin installed?
