Well, Dog

Wulfo already provided you with this:

Code:
#==============================================================================

# ** Game_Party

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# This class handles the party. It includes information on amount of gold

# and items. Refer to "$game_party" for the instance of this class.

#==============================================================================

class Game_Party

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Move Left

  # id: party member ID

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def make_me_move_left(id)

    character = @characters[id]

    character.move_left

  end

  def members_turn_down

    @characters.each{|c| c.turn_down }

  end

  def members_turn_left

    @characters.each{|c| c.turn_left }

  end

  def members_turn_right

    @characters.each{|c| c.turn_right }

  end

  def members_turn_up

    @characters.each{|c| c.turn_up }

  end

end

You'd still need to make the lead character turn left or anywhere else manually. Happy with a sweat

Or use this extended patch instead. Grinning

Code:
#==============================================================================

# ** Game_Party

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# This class handles the party. It includes information on amount of gold

# and items. Refer to "$game_party" for the instance of this class.

#==============================================================================

class Game_Party

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Move Left

  # id: party member ID

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def make_me_move_left(id)

    character = @characters[id]

    character.move_left

  end

  def members_turn_down

    $game_player.turn_down

    @characters.each{|c| c.turn_down }

  end

  def members_turn_left

    $game_player.turn_left

    @characters.each{|c| c.turn_left }

  end

  def members_turn_right

    $game_player.turn_right

    @characters.each{|c| c.turn_right }

  end

  def members_turn_up

    $game_player.turn_up

    @characters.each{|c| c.turn_up }

  end

end

EDIT:

Here's the script call:

$game_party.members_turn_left

For a lark, here is an example script that makes all the following party members face the same direction as the player no matter what direction they are moving.

Code:
#==============================================================================

# ** Game_Party

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#  This class handles the party. It includes information on amount of gold

#  and items. Refer to "$game_party" for the instance of this class.

#==============================================================================

class Game_Party

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Face Down

  #    id: party member ID

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def face_down(id)

    #

    character = @characters[id]                   # Get the train 'actor' by ID

    character.turn_down                           # Use Game_Character turn cmd

    #

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Face Left

  #    id: party member ID

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def face_left(id)

    #

    character = @characters[id]                   # Get the train 'actor' by ID

    character.turn_left                           # Use Game_Character turn cmd

    #

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Face Right

  #    id: party member ID

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def face_right(id)

    #

    character = @characters[id]                   # Get the train 'actor' by ID

    character.turn_right                          # Use Game_Character turn cmd

    #

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Face Up

  #    id: party member ID

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def face_up(id)

    #

    character = @characters[id]                   # Get the train 'actor' by ID

    character.turn_up                             # Use Game_Character turn cmd

    #

  end  

end

#==============================================================================

# ** Game_Character

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#  This class deals with characters. It's used as a superclass for the

#  Game_Player and Game_Event classes.

#==============================================================================

class Game_Character

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Frame Update

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  alias game_char_all_party_faces update

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Frame Update

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def update

    #

    if self.is_a?(Game_Player)                    # If testing the player

      change_facing(@direction)                   # Change facing on player dir

    end

    game_char_all_party_faces                     # Perform the original call

    #

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Change facing direction of party members

  #     facing : player facing direction

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def change_facing(facing)

    #

    for actor in 0..2                             # Cycle through followers

      case facing                                 # Branch on player direction

      when 2 ; $game_party.face_down(actor)       # Run face down for actor

      when 4 ; $game_party.face_left(actor)       # Run face left for actor

      when 6 ; $game_party.face_right(actor)      # Run face right for actor

      when 8 ; $game_party.face_up(actor)         # Run face up for actor

      end

    end

    #

  end

end

Thanks for the help, kyonides and DerVVulfman!

I realized I could use the previous make_me_turn script call and put those in a common event with conditional branches that checked the player's direction. Happy with a sweat

That solved it

There are some instances in the game where you could approach story-related NPCs from various directions, and so I couldn't just use make_me_turn_right or any specific direction because I would not know where the player would approach the NPC from. Only realized today that I could use conditional branches to find out. Laughing
