Author's Notes
I was messing around, and managed to make this work. It's not much, but I figured i'd share it with you guys. I hope you find it useful

Woops! I'm so sorry, I'm still half asleep xD

It should be fixed now.

LOL well I'm glad you find it useful xD

Does it allow you to lock characters? Like preventing the player from changing the position of the lead character?

 

[wizaerd]

I you'd put this anywhere except adFly, I'd download it... but nope...

I've never had any problem with it when others have used it. But, if you really can't spend 5 seconds, PM me and I'll give you a link. No big deal.

As of now it doesn't. But I'll look into it and see if I can figure out how to add that option.

Adfly links are not allowed on this site.  You have 24 hours to replace the links before this thread will be hidden.

Notice how you said on "this" site. I know that. But I guess the rule extends to my site as well? Now I didn't know that, since I haven't read that anywhere.

Anyways, I guess I'll change the links. Like I said, no big deal.

Karberus, thank you very much for this!

I don't know if it's outside of the scope of this plugin, but it would be very helpful if you could add the functionality to use "Show Bubble" animations on followers. Would that be possible? Thank you very much

No problem  

Actually, I have been trying to figure out how to do that, I really want to add that option. I'm just a beginner at this, but if I learn how to do it I'll definitely add it!

Need team work to solve the problem :3

I don't know where i get it wrong but at the first step (before the tile move is finished) it crash with this message :

Cannot read property 'setDirectionFollower' of underfined

EDIT:

I have 2 members in the team. The error pop whit the plugin command MoveFollower 1 , not the movement route. I see the second actor make it's first step then it crash. If i put MoveFollower 0, it won't crash.

I'm not sure if this is the case for you; but the only way I can reproduce this error is if I set "MoveFollower 1", move my follower. And after that, without setting "MoveFollower 0", I try to move an event. 

Remember when you are done moving your follower, set "MoveFollower 0" to be able to move your player, or other events. 

Hopefully that helps, let me know if that's not the case.

Ok! It work on another map! Maybe it's because i have a lot of smartpath on parallel on this one, and some crazy guys running in panic on random route. I guess something in that map create a problem with MoveFollower 1 command. Thank you very much for your time, it helped finding the solution!

Karberus, are you aware that you have </span> and </td>'s all over the place?

The whole thing is kinda unreadable like this.
