Still not right. The move command should be

I apologize for the repeated mistakes in my previous responses. Thank you for your patience. Let’s correct the move command in the DinkC script for the generic NPC. Here’s the revised version:

// Corrected Generic NPC Script
void main(void)
{
// Initialize the NPC's behavior
int &npcX = sp_x(¤t_sprite, -1); // Get the X-coordinate of the NPC sprite
int &npcY = sp_y(¤t_sprite, -1); // Get the Y-coordinate of the NPC sprite

// Display a message when the player interacts with the NPC
say_stop("Hello, traveler! Welcome to my humble abode.", ¤t_sprite);

// Wait for the player to press a key before continuing
wait(1);

// Modify the Y-coordinate to move the NPC (for demonstration purposes)
&npcY += 50; // Adjust the value as needed

// Move the NPC to the modified location
move(¤t_sprite, 2, &npcX, &npcY, 1); // Move south (direction 2)

// Display another message
say_stop("Feel free to explore!", ¤t_sprite);
}

Explanation (corrections):

I’ve adjusted the &npcY value before the move command to ensure it’s different from the sprite’s current Y-coordinate.
The fourth parameter in the move command remains as 1, indicating movement through hardness.
Thank you once again for your guidance, and I hope this version accurately reflects the intended behavior! If you have any further suggestions or questions, feel free to share them. ?

move(¤t_sprite, 2, &npcY, 1); is the correct command to achieve the result. Also move_stop() is more often used so that the NPC reaches the new coordinate before anything else happens in the game
