Is there any way in the editor to set which frame and which direction an NPC is facing when the map is loaded in or do I have to script that. If so, then I need to change the NPC, because I don't want to waste a script on making one NPC face the right direction.
My pronouns are they/them
Ps. I love my wife
As for the frame, I don't think there is a way other than scripting. However, for direction, just go into the Place NPCs menu on your map, hold CTRL and the direction key for which way you want them to face. That will place them in that direction on the map.

You can also pile NPCs on top of each-other with that fun little feature.

One super cool feature in the editor that was added a few releases ago is the global F1 key for help on almost any editor screen.
I'm not trying to sound like a dick by mentioning this feature, but if nobody here mentioned it, I am sure other questions which are already answered in the help files will be asked.

If you want to control which direction an NPC will be facing, you can use CTRL+arrow keys.
CTRL+Up: Place an NPC facing up
CTRL+Down: Place an NPC facing down
CTRL+Left: Place an NPC facing left
CTRL+Right: Place and NPC facing right
It is also possible to put more than one NPC on the same tile using CTRL+arrows.
