Are there certain characters that can't follow patrols?

I tried creating a map with Liam Neeson's character but all he did was stand there with some medical device. He was supposed to follow a path.

Also, does anyone know of any tutorials that help you animate NPCs? I am trying to create films with the GECK and I need the characters to do very specific things. I can't seem to find any tutorials that help you do that.


Edit:

I added a character that actually did something, but it attacked me. Is there anyway to make him ignore me always?

There are likely a lot of scripts and AI packages with "Dad", so thats probably the answer to that. The best thing to is to edit NPCs you plan on using in the GECK change their IDs (usually something descriptive with a common prefix is helpful to quickly finding them), add PlayerFaction to their factions, and clear off all their packages etc. so you can add your own. Then when you hit OK it will ask if you want to create a new form and hit yes; then you can place/edit/do whatever to the new guy you made.

That is incredibly helpful. I definitely needed to know how to do that. Thank you.

You can use this video for reference about creating paths.
