Cannot Enable NPC

I have been able to import and edit custom stories, etc.
For some reason I cannot enable/spawn an NPC when creating a new story.
Probably missing something simple (I have watched the tutorials...)

Story name matches folder, story and character files are the right type and the exported stories run in the game.

Kind of going mad in the cycle of: make changes, export, test, then run around an empty house with disappointment.

Should I be enabling NPCs in the 'game start events' or rolled up in a 'player event trigger' call in the game start events?
Anything else I should be checking for?

Thank you!

Re: Cannot Enable NPC

Resolved?

Not 100% sure what got it. EnableNPC in game start of story or creating a character group and adding the character to it.

Without defining a character event like warpto or walkto I was able to find them using the command console and warping to player.

Re: Cannot Enable NPC

Glad you got it worked out. Yes you need to Enable NPC (async if you think they won't be visible within the first couple seconds of game start), or they won't be visible to the player or be able to make use of most game events.
