Hey so I'm not asking someone to make me a custom plugin for this, I feel like there MUST be an existing plugin that works for this, and I just want someone to point me in the right direction. I think this is still the right forum and if it's not, please at least know I'm not posting this in the wrong forum *on purpose*.

I found and tried one plugin here on the official 4ums with this functionality, which is https://ct-bolt.itch.io/rmmz-chase-player-plugin

Now, possibly owing to it being an acknowledged very early demo, it doesn't work great. by which I mean it more or less does what it's supposed to, but a little clunkily, and then when I feed in an event move route to an event using the plugin (for instance, with an event that's an on-touch encounter, the event move route to make it disappear once that enemy chases the party down initiating a fight and the party kills that enemy) it locks. Events with the plugin's note tag don't seem to like receiving movement routes from event commands.

I've looked on MakerDevs and a few other places with no luck. This Huddell plugin, Cyclone Movement, or this Casper Gaming plugin, CGMZ Event Movement MIGHT include the basic functionality I'm looking for, but then again they might not, and I'm reticent to hand over money for something that might not even do the one fairly simple thing I want. Likewise, I don't really have a budget for MZ Plugins (I'm using MZ for the Touch The Stars jam) so I'm not inclined to shell out $ I don't have to Visustella for this. If anyone has ported Yanfly's Event Chase Player for MV over to MZ, I haven't found it. I feel like there's gotta be something free and working around here for a function this basic, even though RMMZ hasn't been out all that long.
