Holy hell how did I not even make a walking animation I feel so dumb
He still doesn't move like he should, kinda sliding upwards a bit before stopping, but there's no error messages this time.
I don't see any issues with your most recent code, so I'm guessing that sliding up a bit is caused by your walking and stopped animation sets having different origins. Origin is a value you set for every direction of a sprite, and for something simple like an NPC, I think the best practice is to set the origin's x value to half the sprite's width (right in the middle) and the y value to 3 px above the bottom of the sprite (generally, height - 3). I'm guessing that might be the problem because I've done that kind of mistake plenty of times.
In general, NPC sprites need a "stopped" and a "walking" animation, you can get away with just stopped if you know they'll never move. I'm pretty sure the engine wants those exact names if it's applying a movement to an NPC entity.
It's also important to make sure in a case like this where the NPC entity is a person, to have the option in the NPC's settings set to "someone", so the engine knows to apply special rules for how people move- for example, automatically calling the "walking" animation when they move, and making them face toward you when the hero speaks to them.
Finally, when you post code on the forums, it's helpful for us helping you if you do the first tag as "["code=Lua"]", with no quotation marks. For one thing, this adds line numbers, which are important for error messages.
