Summary

I currently have it set up as a switch that turns on when the player reaches a point in the conversation and I used that switch to try and trigger the walking-NPC to appear in the store and start moving to a certain seat. The walking-NPC appears in the store perfectly fine, but it doesn't move and just stays locked in front of the doorway. I also tried switching the walking-NPC from autorun to parallel process and it still doesn't work. Help? { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next",
