Even more work has been very fruitful!
The Mark III NPC demo now establishes a workaround command that permits NPCs to be controlled by the standard Event Commands, be they Move Route, Set Event Location, and the like. Surprisingly, there weren't many commands that actually worked with EVENTS, but I didn't even need to touch those, but a separate method that just establishes WHICH event is in play.
You basically run a script call that replaces the Upcoming event with the Ref ID of the NPC, and that's IT!
While 'actor data' is included within the NPCs, I haven't integrated anything but adding its @actor object within... said actors coming from the Actor Database. But it would be here where content pertaining to the actual NPC actors (and not event movement) would be placed. Such would be character behavior, reactions, items held, and so on.
It is a plan that converting an event to an NPC would also convert the event's characterset to the actor's characterset. That could allow for paperdolling... or a variation thereof.
