Thanks very much in advance!

I dunno if you've read this before or not, but I might as well link to it:

Plotscripting Dictionary

This contains every plotscripting command in existance, and details descriptions on how to use every one. They've also been categorized, so for this particular quest you would've checked out the "Moving NPCs" section.

Usually questions like your first post can be answered by taking a quick peak at the dictionary, so hopefully this will solve any unforeseeable problems that may arise in the future.

I know the walk npc command very well. The problem is that I didn't tought that it could help me to solve my problem.

I haven't realised that I could make appear the npc moving with an npc speed equal to 0 and the walk (npc command)

Thanks very much anyway.
Sorry again for posting so much messages (I've already post about 40 messages!) but it really helps me to make my game and to post messages at the FAQ. Tell me if you think I should post less messages. I will try not to post more than 1 by week from now on.

Good luck all in making your game!

As far as I know, you can't walk an NPC that has a speed of '0'. Try a plotscript to set NPC speed to '4' or so and then walk the NPC and then set the speed back to '0'.

I know that both heroes and Npcs needs speed to walk but what I wanted was seeing the npc using all its walkabout pictures without moving.

That's possible using the walk npc command with speed=0 and that's what I decided to use.
Anyway sorry again for posting an useless message!
