Moving characters in the background

[Paoul]

This might seem very basic but I'm just having trouble getting it to work.  Basically I want a character to constantly move around the screen in a set route ive given it despite whatever else is happening in that room. How do I go about doing that? the ccharacter.Walk function seems to not like the idea of that
thanks

There's a character control module that can be found here

That will save you from a lot of pain, trust me.

thanks

Oh, it would be wise to see some examples from that topic to see how to implement it on your game. A wise move would be to see the Character Module Plugin documentation (for they are very similar)

agh so im completely new to this concept. I dont know the first thing about using modules. Can you direct me to the place that can tell me how?

What you're looking for is probably the character.AddWaypoint, or a script in rep_exec that checks the NPCs position and sends it somewhere. (there was a topic like that not long ago, lemme try to find it)

[Edit]: Found it. RickJ's code is pretty easy to understand and should be easily adaptable.
