There's no built-in function to move a non-player character (NPC) to a new room.

However, using script, you could do:

StopMoving(NPC); // you have to stop characters before manipulating x and y coordinates
character[NPC].room = 7; // number of room you want to put him in
character[NPC].x = 160; // x-coordinate of character in new room
character[NPC].y = 120; // y-coordinate of character in new room

You can also write a custom function if you need to use this often:

Global script (outside of any other functions)

function NewRoomExSpecial(int charid, int room_number, int x, int y) {
  if (charid == GetPlayerCharacter()) // specified character is the current player character
    NewRoomEx(room_number, x, y); // use the normal NewRoomEx function
  else { // for non-player characters
    StopMoving(charid);
    character[charid].room = room_number;
    character[charid].x = x;
    character[charid].y = y;
  }
}

Script header
import function NewRoomExSpecial(int charid, int room_number, int x, int y);

Then, in the Interaction editor -> Run script, for the first example, you would only have to write

NewRoomExSpecial(NPC, 7, 160, 120);

Hope this helps.

Or if you dont need to script, you can use the interaction in the interaction editor.
