Either way, you will need to use a timer to update the proximity or check the player location. Here is a simple script that does basically what you are wanting:

Code:
$ProxDist = 100;

sub EVENT_SPAWN {

	$x = $npc->GetX();
	$y = $npc->GetY();
	$z = $npc->GetZ();
	quest::set_proximity($x - $ProxDist, $x + $ProxDist, $y - $ProxDist, $y + $ProxDist, $z - $ProxDist, $z + $ProxDist);
	quest::settimer("setprox", 2);
	
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {

	if ($timer eq "setprox") {
		my $x = $npc->GetX();
		my $y = $npc->GetY();
		my $z = $npc->GetZ();
		quest::clear_proximity();
		quest::set_proximity($x - $ProxDist, $x + $ProxDist, $y - $ProxDist, $y + $ProxDist, $z - $ProxDist, $z + $ProxDist);
	}

}

sub EVENT_ENTER {

	quest::FlyMode(2);

}

sub EVENT_EXIT {

	quest::FlyMode(0);

}
The only problem with this is that if the player stands in place while the NPC moves out of range and creates a new proximity, it won't remove their flymode because they won't actually be exiting the old or new proximity. Probably the best work-around for this is to do a loop through the client list to do a distance check and remove flymode if they are outside a specified range. You could do that in the same timer as the proximity move so they line up time-wise with each other.
