### Character Scripting

Non-player characters (NPCs) can be used to develop a story in your hold by assigning them a list of things to do and say. When an NPC is placed in a room, you may customize its appearance and behavior.

Graphic - Select what your NPC will look like. Selecting None (the default) indicates this NPC is used for scripting events but will not appear as a visible character in the room. Hint: On the setting, a character cannot be made visible.

Visible - If checked, the NPC will be visible when the player enters the room. Otherwise, it will be invisible. When an NPC is invisible, its script continues to play but it otherwise behaves as if it were not in the room. Hint: making a character with a "None" graphic visible will set it to a "Citizen 1" type.

Add Command - Click to add another command to the script. The script tells the NPC what to do when the player enters the room.

Delete Command - Deletes the selected command from the script. Also performed by pressing the Delete key.

Reordering commands - During play, commands are performed in the order they are placed in the script. Hold down the mouse button on a command and drag it to reposition it in the script.

Click OK to finish customizing an NPC. You may click on the character at any time to change its initial orientation in the room or revise its list of commands. Click and drag a character to reposition it in the room.
