This plugin for RPG Maker MV (should work for MZ as well) moves any event marked with to the player.
Copy playerFollower.js to project folder > js > plugins and then select the plugin in the plugin menu.
Create a new event on the map and add <player-follower> to the event's Note section. Make sure to set Priority to either Above characters or Below characters`.
