Hi \<@1023671043287699568\>, how to have NPC walk besides the player–when the player moves, NPC moves; when the player stops, NPC stops? I’m building mixed reality in Unity using Quest 3’s passthrough mode. Thank you.

Hello \<@1002933233677258792\>,
It is up to you.
You have to create your own action.

\<@1023671043287699568\> do I do that through scripts or is there any components I can use?

Okay thank you. I have another question: I have a video in my scene, how to make a narrative design trigger become active when the video finishes playing?

This depends entirely on your Action.
If you want to use the MoveTo action, you can check our Animator.

Yes, but there is nothing special for this move. You can use our default NPC animator.
