Description
What is it?
This is a simple addon that will spawn NPCs on the map and make them move around pre-set points. Can work without NAV mesh.



Does this load the system?
In most cases, this does not load the system, since NPCs spawn only within the player's line of sight, and are destroyed when the player is far away.



What is there?
There are several types of NPCs:

NPCs can move along predetermined movement points. In case of danger, they can try to run away, hide, scream in horror, or repulse the enemy. Sometimes they talk to each other and do other things. Over time, the list of events will expand.



Documentation?
While the documentation is under development, it will be updated over time.

hi author i have a question. Can we blacklist certain places we want to make background npcs not spawn or move in the blacklisted area?
RU:
привет автор у меня вопрос. Можем ли мы занести в черный список определенные места, где мы хотим, чтобы фоновые неигровые персонажи не появлялись и не перемещались в области, занесенной в черный список?
