I have two problems for which I think there's a simple solution in the shape of just one line of cog but since I couldn't find them with cogref's search function I thought I'd try if someone here knows.
the things I want to have done are:

-A civilian (nman2.3do) should always stay where he is as I place him (unless bumped away by a person) and not walk arround.

-In a cutscene I want to let the walkplayer walk to e specific coordinate. (or can I use frames and then use movetoframe?)

1. That's all in the AI...just make sure the AI doesn't have any commands and he will do exactly that.

2. Use ApplyForce(); But make sure to not detach the player. If your pushed like this w/o detaching it will look like walking. Also try using StopThing(); to halt all motion on the player, and use ApplyForce w/ negative vectors to reduce speed. You should also check out that Infernal DM level here at Massassi. On the upper floors there are these rooms that when you press a button to open the door, it changes the camera view and walks the player inside. Hope I helped.
