Move player character to a still moving NPC

How to Move player character to a still moving NPC?

Probably a simple answer, couldn't find anything out about it though. I've been using a changing variable everytime an NPC walks onto a region and moving the player character accordingly. However, there must be a simpler way to do this out there. Also, is there a default distance or can you reset the actual pixel difference between the playable character and an NPC, when performing such tasks as looking, talking or using an inventory item on a still moving NPC.

Are you talking about the FollowCharacter command?

No he isn't.

It depends, is the NPC supposed to stop if the player character is e.g. going to talk to the NPC?
You could send the player to the NPC's coordinates (e.g. cNpc.x-20, cNpc.y).

The NPC stops anyway, any cursor click (other than walk to) on the NPC pauses any animation that it was doing. What I had in mind was a kind of 'walk to point' for characters such as there is for hotspots. This code that you have above, how would it be formulated into a 'character[EGO].Walk' command, or something similar. I didn't find anything in the guide, I hope I'm making some degree of sense. .

Are you kidding?

character[EGO].Walk(cNpc.x-20, cNpc.y, eBlock);

or shorter

player.Walk(cNpc.x-20, cNpc.y, eBlock);
