I believe MadPie will be the next json modder that makes something amazing. The only way to figure out its limitations are to keep testing it, and it changes with each build. Many of the npc's actions are not controllable and are attached to their ID# (Kokona making octodogs) There are no commands for special actions of npcs, you can try switching their club number and changing their scheduledaction to club, but in many cases it won't work properly or it will break them. The only way I found to make a character do something theyre not meant to do is to change their appearance to look like them. (like turning Kokona into Senpai since she has so many special actions) Turning people into teachers (Clubs 100, 101, & 102+) now causes them to have a chair attached and they won't go to their locker anymore like they could in my old build mods. The game has so many set actions that cannot be changed and the json file has a limit on how many actions you can make someone perform before they spawn broken (approx 9?) But this could have changed or could be caused by other things. Turning someone into a half-teacher (I use club 102) makes them taller but still in student appearance but can be sent from their seat to the podium of their class. You can't change anyone's class seat even by changing their class number but you can change the podium they go to. Kyoshi's spot also counts as a podium too which I use to get all 41 in one spot for mass killing! Also when testing your json file, just hit the tilde button ~ for a soft reset and it will be applied, no need to start the game over each time. Although the custom portraits won't be applied without a full reset. Most NPC's spawn automatically no matter what you type, even without the spawn command. Keep an eye down the street for them waiting there because many times they will fall and you'll wonder whether an unknown even spawned. I'd love to see what else you guys have learned since there's many new actions to mess with.
