Have a character restart their custom move route

[Saeryen 299]

I have a mechanic in-game so that a character is chased through a maze, and when she's caught, her and the pursuers are set back to their original locations. The problem is that the pursuers have custom move routes so they follow the character, and when they go back to the original locations, the move route doesn't start from the beginning which causes them to move in the wrong directions and not chase the character anymore.

 

Anyone know how to make it so that the move route restarts from the beginning?

I suggest the usage of a pathfinding script.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to achieve this without a script? I ask because I don't want to use too many scripts, as I don't want to pay for too many licenses.

Can you make the character go back the way he came? Or is it that he follows the player?

Perhaps something to say if he reaches this spot, or that one, he goes behind the building, or in a building and then you can use set event location command to move him back to the start.

(I had an idea but I then realised it doesn't work)

Can you send of screenshot of what your pursuer event looks like, please?

An idea suddenly popped in my mind - when your character gets caught by the chaser, have it fade out and teleport to a simple intermedium map; then instantly teleport back to the maze map and fade in!

 

Tested it and it worked.
