• ForceNPCToActBusy

<Targetname> <hint node targetname> <optional:teleport> <optional:$customactivityorsequence> <maximum time to actbusy> Force an NPC to act busy. If no hint node targetname is specified, it'll search for a random one. If no max time is specified, it'll use the default. Specifying 0 as the max time will make the NPC act busy until disturbed. If the optional teleport parameter is specified, the NPC will teleport to the act busy point. A custom move animation can be specified by prepending $ to the name of it. i.e. $ACT_RUN will make the NPC Run. Sequence names can be used instead of activities.
