Character can't be off screen?

[earlwood]

Ok, I have one room where there is a character that is fairly large, so he I set the starting X Y pos on him so that the most of it was off screen. But when I try to make him walk to a hotspot, it does nothing.

Can someone give me better way to do this, or just a way to fix this?

Probably because if his x,y position is set off-screen, then it's also not on a walkable area.  If you try to use MoveCharacterToHotspot, it will obey the walkable areas and if the character isn't currently on a walkable area, he won't move.  Try using MoveCharacterBlocking and specify the walk-to x,y coordinates instead, and set the Direct value to 1, or just use MoveCharacterDirect if you don't need the command to be blocking.
