| Float:stopRange | Distance to stop from player (default: 0.2) |

## Examples

```c
public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (!strcmp(cmdtext, "/npcmovetoplayer", true))
    {
        new npcid = PlayerNPC[playerid];
        if (npcid == INVALID_NPC_ID)
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You are not debugging a NPC.");

        if (!NPC_IsValid(npcid))
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Invalid NPC.");

        NPC_MoveToPlayer(npcid, playerid, NPC_MOVE_TYPE_JOG, NPC_MOVE_SPEED_AUTO, 0.2, 500, false);

        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x00FF00FF, "NPC %d now following you", npcid);
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
```

## Notes

Примітка

-   NPCs will continuously follow the target player until stopped.
-   The `updateDelayMS` parameter controls how often the NPC updates its target position.
-   Lower `updateDelayMS` values provide smoother following but use more resources.
-   The `autoRestart` parameter determines if following resumes after interruptions.
-   Following stops when the target player disconnects.
