Resource Marins Footprints 19.1+

LadyPlaan02 submitted a new resource:

Marins Footprints v19+ - The Marins resource we were missing

Hiii!
I wanted to share a script I couldn't get to work in my game. I thought it was my problem, but then I read online that it wasn't working for other people, too. So I edited and fixed some parts of the script, and... Now it works! The version I tested it on is 19.1 (the one I use), but I think it works on other versions too. Let me know.
I hope this helps someone!
I'm also leaving you the link to Marins's original version, where you'll find all the instructions. Credit for this resource...

Tested it on v21.1 for ya. Doesn't work but fully understood why :D

Anyone working on a v21 port?

Anyone working on a v21 port?

if you want to port it to v21, all you have to is replace all instances of Pokemontemp and dependentevents with game_temp.followers since that is the new class for followers now.
