Side Kick NPC to follow users character

Hello! I am creating an RPG for a class final project and am new to RPG maker vx ace lite. I am working on an introduction cut scene and would like the users friend (NPC character) to be following the user character once the cut scene is over. Is there a command in the maker to instruct an NPC to follow the movement of a user character?

Thank you!

The easier way to do this is to make them a party member at the end of the cutscene:

1. Use the Event commands to make the character's friend a party member (you'll need to set them up as an Actor in the database first)
2. Make the NPC event invisible
3. Ensure the "Show Player Followers" option in the database (System tab) is checked

If it's important to you that the friend is NOT added to the party, you can still have the NPC follow the player on a single map.  Create a page for the NPC and make sure that page will be active at the end of your event.  On that page, set the NPC's Speed to 4, Frequency to 5, and make sure the graphic is correct.  Then set the Move Route to Custom and modify this custom Move Route to only "Move Toward Player".  Make sure the "Skip" and "Repeat" checkboxes are on; the "Wait" checkbox should be off.

Thank you very much, this makes sense and will be extremely helpful!

You're welcome. :)
