Summary0010408: MaleFollower and FemaleFollower have choppy speeds & animations
DescriptionI've set the game's opening to use MaleFollower and FemaleFollower. During MOVEFG, whichever character is NOT Player 1 will walk using erratic speeds, often jumping from one point to the next. (The scripted movement of Player 1 will look great.) We need to completely disable the NPC's efforts at following when gameplay is not occurring.

Also, during gameplay, the animation of being followed has a halting effect, probably because the player moves slower in this tutorial level than in the overworld. The effect is even worse when you hold down the walk button.

This was a bit tricky; good catch!

* Fixed an issue where having minimum chase ranges or strike ranges on an object type, then trying to use MOVEFG or EXIT with it for scripting, would cause jerky movements in the size of the range in question.

The story sequences look much better! However, the NPC still seems to use "rapid scooting" while following you, and it's exasperated when you use the walk button.

Yeah, they don't mirror your speed. So they run at their own speed until they reach the range you are in, then stop. Then if you are out of range, they come to you again.
