If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it! I am still new to scripting so maybe the answer is right under my nose. I know that I can use the Catapillar Script to make my characters follow the leader, but what about this: I want a creature to follow the main character (e.i. frog) all the time but none of the other characters. Also I am using a party switch script so if I switch them I still want the creature to follow the leader. Here is the party switcher script (it's by Fomar0153) I am using in case that is needed to make sure it will all be compatiable. Thank you for reading my request!

Why not trying to make an event whose speed is equal to the hero and has the move route to "Hero Follow"?
that sounds like a very good idea that would be much simpler but I don't see a command under "Set Move Route" that says "Follow Hero" or anything like it. If anyone knows how to do it this way could they tell me what to choose? thank you!
What? I just opened RPG Maker XP up and in Movement Pattern, set Type to "Follow Hero," Speed to "Fast," and Frequency to "Highest." If you can't find those options, something's wrong with your Maker.
I just bought it so it should be fine. here is what I am looking at but I don't see what you are refering to:
[spoiler](https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi165.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu43%2Fcrunkbanker%2Fmoveroute.png&hash=63751eaf9c5c72080ed73331eef399319cceefab)[/spoiler]
my rpg maker is a little different than yours but this is basicly what you want:
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi163.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ft284%2Ffadarkrmxp%2Ffh.jpg&hash=d8d9a9b0ba55772969f3a2d7dbf85795b4d8a483)
It probably reads as approach in your translation.
Just remember that if you teleport your hero, you teleport your event, too. Also to speed the event up if the hero is sped up (if you were to use a running system).
Note: I hope to god Nouman doesn't post here so I can say the "Was this problem solved? If so, add [RESOLVED] to the title to help others. Add [RESOLVED] by editting the first post's title" :D

It kind of works, but it's very sporadic. like the "animal" that follows doesn't move like me it just moves all around me crazy like. any thoughts?
It'll do that. This would require a script, unless you want to put him in your party.
Awesome! yea, he wouldn't be in the party. just a pet following the leader (whoever that might be at the time since i have a party changing script) around. thanks Irockman1! ( I have my party changer script in the 1st post in case you need to know that. I am also using the unlimited save files script. I'll post that below too, in case you need to know what i am using for compatibilty reasons.)
