This would change the role of specific NPC.

This would work same way than "Player role"

I believe we generally do this with one NPC appearing immediately after the other disappears. However, this does involve arcaneness with movement order, and looping switches are impossible.

I'm working on this one. It should show up in a future major patch/release once it's ready.

Change role of NPC at space x, y? Or NPC number x?
Just a general question. And is this going to be permenant until changed again or will it reset every time the room is entered???

D'oh. That does make more sense.

If this command is used, then it changes itself's role.

I've implemented this in build 58.

I'm re-posting a warning here that I posted in the build 58 thread on the Bugs board:

This morning I realized I was premature in uploading build 58 -- exported holds that include this new scripting functionality will not work for players with previous builds, but I didn't update the game's hold versioning to check for that. In order to prevent mass confusion, I must rename version 3.1.1.x to 3.2 and forbid importing holds exported from 3.2 into 3.1 or earlier. I've taken build 58 down for now, but will upload a new build (called 3.2) with the proper import/export guards in place. For now, anyone with build 58, please do not export any holds that you've made that use the new script command.

That means there will be no official 3.1.1 release. It will be called 3.2. Sorry for the inconvenience and potential confusion.
