Download is in the top right by the way ;)
Have you ever wanted to make an event move to a specific location but had to calculate an entire 50 page long move route?
These days are over with VASP! All you have to do is call a simple script command with this plugin, you select the event and its destination and voila! This script will calculate the correct move route for you so you don't have to worry about it.
Does it work with the player as well?
Yes it does! Instead of defining the event ID you just input $game_player and the plugin will do the rest.
Also neat feature you can do with this plugin is make an event look at a specific location or event. This is useful for those situations where you want an event to look at another but you're just not sure where they'll end up.
An example of the plugin in use is shown in this tweet, where a Beedrill automatically finds its way through a maze.
Side note, the pathfinding does take the through toggle into consideration. If it is turned on when the script is called it will just take the shortest path.
Double side note, pathfinding in extremes will lag your game while calculating, this only really happens with huge open areas. And with huge I mean triple digits huge.
