Re: NPC Movement Frequency - Becoming - 15-03-2008

any max for the scroll bar ? and can you define frequency ?

Re: NPC Movement Frequency - Matt - 15-03-2008

I would assume how often they move.

Re: NPC Movement Frequency - Jacob - 15-03-2008

I put a max of 254 on my scroll bar. Perfekt is right about frequency.
