Ok, now that you made a nice little level for your character to explore, wouldn't it be nice to have people, NPCs, for your little square friend to talk to? NPCs can be placed like a player, pick a color and then just click Brush>NPC Brush>Ally. After that, simply place you NPC where you want him.

Now that you have done that you must name the NPC. NO SPACES!

I am going to name him NPC_01, but you can call him whatever you want: Bob, Bill Jack...

Now we must tell him what to say. You can have him say anything. Just make sure you type it in the fist top text area. (Once you learn to work with SRPG Script you can have him say something different every time you talk to him, but that's for a later lesson).

After you tell him what to say, you can set the location you want him to move to. You can only have him move vertically of horizontaly but not diagonally. If you can see the two squares and the line, then that is a valid movement.

Now just click the left mouse button and you are finished. Run the game to try it out!
