On-map Encounters?

Hello! I've been looking around but haven't found anything for rpg maker xp or pokemon essentials for having on-map encounters instead of the random encounters system.

I've been searching for different types of encounters:
- aggressive encounters (when the player is x tiles away, the pokémon chases him and battles if he manages to touch the player)
- curious encounters (when the player is x tiles away, the pokemon follows him passively until the player turns around and presses enter to battle/cutscene or other)
- evasive encounters (they try to escape from the player when the player is x tiles away)

Does anyone know of a script that does that or a way to event this? It's a bit too complicated for me to figure out how to do this...

Thank you!

Have you tried playing around with autonomous Movement and Triggers?

I've tried a few things, but they were all too difficult and I couldn't get it to work. I had an idea and tried using the Trainer(4) name, but... I couldn't make it work out.

If I only needed one event like that, then I would probably be able to come up with a super big and complicated event with multiple variables and switches at play but I want to replace the whole encounter system by this, so that means about 10 pokemon per outside map or more for bigger maps.
Well, it might not seem a lot but I don't want to have to spend hours on just this and make a buggy game because of too many events going on at the same time. Maybe eventing this is a bit too ambitious...

Do you have an idea on how to do this?

As Sir_Tman said, use the autonomous movement (select Type: Custom) alongside the events from Berth/Faraday island. In Move Route you can select move away/toward the player. There you just need to use the triggers Action/Event touch.

Beware that having too much events on a map can cause the game to lag. So, depending how much events you create, might be advisable to make a dedicate map for encounters or just limitate the amount of pokémon you want to appear.



EDIT: If you want to use the stock tilesets that come with essentias, you need to untie (?) some tiles that are bound to encounter tag like the grass one.
