Aggro Script?

[kujo]

Hi there!

New poster, here. But not totally new to RMXP.
(Let me first say this site is AWSOME!! And everyone should keep up the stellar work) :D

Anyhow, to the question at hand:
Does anyone know of a script that can change a sprite's movement on the map; mimicking 'aggro' toward a player on that map, in relation to the player's distance between his/herself and the mob?

Ok...that sentence might be a tad strange to chew on.
Basically what I'm looking for is:

- The player enters the map...there are sprites walking around (Movement set to random)
- If the player gets too close to a sprite, that sprite will try to move toward the player until it touches and BOOM! Combat screen pops up.

I like the style of having battle screens. I know most (if not all) 'Zelda'-style ATBs can allow for the sort of reaction from sprites that I'm looking for. However, they all employ battle done on the map. Which I do not want.

I've been all through the downloads section, and even the Lost Scripts thingie, but have had no luck finding something. ':|

I am, admittedly, a total noob at scripting. Otherwise I would have attempted it myself. So I'm hoping theres someone here that might be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated! :D

Not sure. Also, I posted it since people have a hard time finding it. Don't ask me how to use it, since I'm not the creator of the script.

Thank you Elias!

This was exactly what I had in mind. And now that I know a name for the script, and an author...I've found the same script but with instructions.
