What you have to do is at the very end of the event page you have to insert this one thing called a self switch and click self switch A it should be around the first section of the choices to make for events.

then on the same event page create a new page ( at the top of the event editor)

and the new event page look to the left sides there should be some choices that say switch, switch, variable, and self switch click the check box for self switch A and there you go.

ey man if ur new to the engine check out the tutorials they are really helpful lol this section is for obtaining submitted events or help on kinda special events that a tutorial wouldnt help in just a suggestion but yeh to my point ne ways to add npc's u gotta goto the event menu and add an event and click the blue checkard area in the event window to add a sprite also theres the help file in the program thats very helpful as well

You put the "erase event" function at the bottom of the event code. It'll remove the event so that it doesn't play.

Go to the character menu. At the bottom left there's a box that says "number of players" (probably 8 ). You just change that. Then go to System (I think), top left corner there's a box that lists who your starting party is.
To create random NPCs (i.e people you can't control), create a blank event, give it a sprite, change autonomous movement to "random", speed to normal, and frequency to...whatever.
You main character is controlled via the direction keys on your keyboard.

Anything else?
