Cool - thank you ;)

so how would setup a sniper like on a tower or something where he would not move off the tower but would still attack at a distance?  is this even possiable?

I will add this in the next version.  By default they will follow but you should be able to set follow = false (new variable).

This is now in 0.3.26 using a new configuration, follow.  If set to false the NPC should stay put.  Default is true (same behavior as before).
