Improved Pathfinding (for RPGMaker MV/MZ)

This plugin greatly enhances the pathfinding algorithm used by RPGMaker when navigating the map using the mouse. It offers the following features:

• Fine-tune the accuracy of the pathfinding to better fit your maps. For example, this can allow pathing to work even in a complex maze as long as a path exists.
• Support pathfinding through teleportation events that do not change the map.
• Pathfinding can be configured avoid various soft obstacles, such as damaging floors, ladders, bush tiles, specific regions or terrain tags, transfer evens that change the map, or even unusual objects represented by custom events.
• Pathfinding can understand the presence of bridges – tiles that can be walked either over or under, depending on which side you enter from. Supports 3 different common ways of creating bridges.
• Pathfinding can be configured to chase the event clicked on as it moves, instead of sending the party to the location the event was on when first clicked.
• Pathfinding can be configured to understand one-way passages controlled by events, or passages where one direction is easier than the other.
• Events can be configured to not interrupt pathfinding when the player crosses through them.

Note: By itself, this plugin has no effect on how events move around. However, there exist other plugins that enable events to make use of the mouse pathfinding algorithm. If such a plugin is installed, events using that plugin will also benefit from these improvements.
