I'm trying to make an npc teleport to me after I hit a triggerbox, so that the npc can appear and talk to another npc I see.\

Coming here after checking forums and various google searches.

this code gives me an error that mthe moveto command is not defined or does not exist... how would one properly do this?

Quest Property MyQuest Auto 
Int RunOnce
Actor Property PlayerREF Auto 
Alias Property MyNPC Auto  
 
Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)
If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()
 If MyQuest.IsStageDone(10)
  If RunOnce == 0
MyNPC.moveto(game.getplayer())
  RunOnce = 1
  EndIf
 EndIf
EndIf
EndEvent

Change

Alias property MyNPC auto

ReferenceAlias property MyNPC auto

Then change

MyNPC.moveto(Game.GetPlayer())

(MyNPC.GetReference() as Actor).moveto(Game.GetPlayer())

A shot of vodka to you sir. that worked thank you.

if you feel like it, could you explain why these changes work? I'm not a natural at scripting and I still don't understand exactly what is needed for the game to communicate with scripts.

You never use Alias as a property. That's all I know about that.

For the other, GetReference returns rather the Alias is filled or not. Casting to Actor, tells MoveTo that it's being called on an actor, and Actor extends ObjectReference.
