Question

NPCs in Chop'n Pop don't work - why?

I wanted to try having NPCs as in good ol' school games - no waves, just preposition them on the level to spawn on start. Followed the docs. It doesn't seem to work at all. Video below illustrates the issue. What am I doing wrong?

Check the console log for any errors.

I believe there are no errors in the console, but I'll double check later today.

Isn't ZombieBrain one of the scripts? Also, fiddling can have hard to notice issues so answering questions can be tricky. When in doubt, I'll just delete a world and try again. Eventually I'll learn to incorporate versioning controls.
