[Map] Having issue with npc placement

Just starting out with scripting and map making here so I'm just doing basic hello world tests when I throw down my first npc. Loaded up the rom and he is stuck in the fence no matter where I place the event tile. Was wondering if anybody knew what was going on so I can fix this and any future occurences.

Was this Pallet Town formerly? Just guessing by where the OW ends up lol. Check which level scripts are present, if there's one of the "[03]On entering map/not on menu close" type and that script contains the movesprite2 and spritebehave commands that's what will be causing it. Removing that script will stop this happening.

If my memory serves me right, that script also contains the setting of the world map flag (which you need), so if you delete the script and intend to use this map for a town or city you'll need to replace it just with a simple script that sets the world map flag.

That did the trick, thank you!
