I have a question about xFirstNPC and xNextRef usage that perhaps someone can answer for me: Is the "Player" actor included in the NPC list that can be cycled through? A script that I am writing seems to ignore the player but correctly check other references, but maybe I just messed something up. It would actually be more convenient for me if I'm right, but I would prefer to know for sure before relying on it.

No, the player is not included in the NPC list.

Thanks -- it's good to know these things for sure =)
