by Gensun​

Introduction
This plugin was developed and used across ~5 small projects to fill a need to smoothly handle cutscenes that involve not just the protagonist but also their follower characters.

Features

  • Movement route commands
  • Set Event Location commands
  • Emote balloons
  • Battle animations
• Save countless dev time with cutscenes that move many events/characters with similar movement routes!
• Handy script calls for easy positioning of your followers in cutscenes
• Seamlessly add, remove, and shuffle actors without any apparent movement on the map!

How to Use
Follower characters are extremely finicky to control due to several factors including their default behavior of always following the leader any time they move, that this behavior has to be selectively turned off then turned back on at the end of each cutscene! Please open the demo for full context for how to use this plugin!

This plugin works by storing a list of events and characters to override the subject of the following event commands:

• Movement route commands
• Set Event Location commands
• Emote balloons
• Battle animations

They work as normal as long as the list is empty, but the plugin command SetRouteSubject will add characters to this list, making it possible and easy to send then above commands to every character on this list. After which, the list is emptied and the above commands would work as normal.
