Smart Pathfinding

Introduction
This plugin allows you to set up smart pathfinding for events.
 
How to use
Add to your plugins folder (file name does not really matter, but I call mine SmartPath.js).  There are no parameters to set.
 
Use the plugin command SmartPath eventID1 eventID2 to make event 1 find a path to event 2
Use the plugin command SmartPath eventID x y to make the event find a path to x, y on the map
Use the plugin command SmartPath eventID cancel to cancel pathfinding for the event
 
eventID, eventID1 and eventID2 can be a number for a specific event (no leading zeros), 0 for the event issuing the plugin call, -1 for the player, or $gameVariables.value(id) to get the event number from the specified variable (replace id with the variable id, no leading zeros).
 
x and y can be map coordinates or $gameVariables.value(id) to get the x or y value from the specified variable (replace id with the variable id, no leading zeros).

The event will continue to follow its target until told to stop. So if the target is another event or the player, if the target moves, the event will adjust its course or follow, depending on how close it is to the target.

Note
- the plugin says it works for events OR the player, but I'm not sure that it does work for the player.  I need to re-test that.
