Instructions
To make an event move with the player add this to the event's name.
PLAYER_MOVE: STEPS_MOVE STEPS_TO
STEPS_MOVE = Steps to move once the player moves.
STEPS_TO = Steps the player needs to make before this event can move.
Example:
PLAYER_MOVE: 1 1
To stun an event so it will not move with the character use this in a call script.
player_move_stun(#)
# = Number of steps to stun the event for.

# ** TDS Lufia II Enemy Move
# Ver: 1.0
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Description:
# This script replicates the enemy movement alongside the player on map from
# the game "Lufia II".
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Features:
# Makes events on map move with the player.
#
# Allows you to stun events for such situations as escapes or others.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Instructions:
# To make an event move with the player add this to the event's name.
#
# PLAYER_MOVE: STEPS_MOVE STEPS_TO
#
# STEPS_MOVE = Steps to move once the player moves.
# STEPS_TO = Steps the player needs to make before this event can move.
#
# Example:
#
# PLAYER_MOVE: 1 1
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Notes:
# The script will work with the default movement type of the event.
# (Random, Approach, Custom).
#
# For enemies that move more than once, it would be a good idea to increase
# their normal walking speed.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * New Methods:
# Game_Map:
# - update_player_move_events
# ^ Method used to update events in the player move events array.
#
# Game_Event:
# - player_move_stun(step_duration = 5)
# ^ Method used to "stun" and prevent event movement by an amount of steps.
# - decrease_player_move_counter(value = 1)
# ^ Method used to decrease event move counter by a value.
# - update_self_movement
# ^ Added counter and movement with player. If the event is not an event that
# moves with the player it does nothing to it.
#
# Game_Interpreter:
# - player_move_stun(step_duration = 5)
# ^ Method added to allow easier use by a call script from the event.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Aliased Methods:
# Game_Map:
# - setup(map_id)
# ^ Aliased to intialize the player moves events array.
#
# Game_Event:
# - initialize(map_id, event)
# ^ Aliased to add move with player values, if applicable.
#
# Game_Player:
# - increase_steps
# ^ Aliased to update events that move with the player.

Known Compatibility Issues
None that I'm aware of so far.
Author's Notes
For enemies that move more than once with the player it's suggested to increase their movement speed, that way they can keep up with the player.
Since this script uses the default movement settings for events it does not offer improvement in those areas. If requested I could improve the movements of player moved based events so they will move in more logical ways.
Restrictions
Only for use in non-commercial games. Also do not post this script anywhere else.
