How to play the demo

Move the character with the arrow keys or by clicking on the map.

Hold Tab and hover over any party member to see the highlight appear.
With the highlight active, click to interact with her.

Hold Ctrl and use the directional keys to rotate the leader without moving.
If you press in the direction they're already facing, they walk forward alone
while the others stay behind, watching.

PICO — Interacting With Followers

RPG Maker MZ | v0.7.1

You know that moment when Danna, Lia and Mai are walking right beside your player — and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it? They're just... there. Following. Silently judging.

Not anymore.

This plugin lets your player interact with party followers directly on the map — no menus, no workarounds. Just walk up to one of them and press OK. Or better yet, hold the highlight key, hover your mouse over whoever caught your eye, and watch a soft glow appear on her sprite. A little shimmer that says "yes, this one." Then you click, and something happens.

What happens is entirely up to you — a conversation, a cutscene, a little moment between characters. Each party member is linked to a Common Event of your choice, right there in the Plugin Manager. The leader uses whoever is currently in front, dynamically. No scripting, no fuss.

There's also a rotation mode — hold a key and spin the leader around without taking a step, great for those scenes where facing direction actually matters. And if you want to get a little closer to one of them without the whole group tagging along, hold that same key and press forward. The leader walks ahead alone while everyone else stays behind, watching. They'll catch up when you let go — or automatically if you wander a little too far.

You can also turn interactions on or off at any time with a simple Script call and the state saves with the game, so you have full control over when and how your players get to engage with the party.

All keys are dropdown-selectable, the highlight color and fade speed are configurable, and the plugin comes fully bilingual in English and Portuguese. It also plays nice with PICO — Dynamic Party Move if you're using both.

Pico Pico Studio — small plugins, big feelings.
