Looks good to me. When do you want it to run? After a text box?

The NPC is supposed to always face right

When placing NPCs on a map, you can also set their starting direction by holding ctrl+arrow key instead of pressing space or enter. You can also put multiple NPCs on one tile this way. You can also set them to "Not face player" when used so that they don't change direction.

I think something is wrong because I am on a Mac and when I do ctrl+arrow key it doesn't do anything

wait nevermind I gotta do control+command and then the arrow key okay

On Mac, IIRC, control+left/right changes to the next/previous workspace (see Spaces in Settings), and will do nothing if you only have one workspace, and control+up/down is for navigating windows. Thanks, I didn't know that control+cmd overrides that. We should add cmd+arrows as alternative keys if those will work.

I have also been meaning to make direction editable on the screen that you see when you press enter on an NPC instance.

Another thing to get to someday :)

I disabled a lot of keybindings for spaces, because a lot of them involved ctrl, which ruins wallmapping as well. I didn't know command could override that either.
