not like its hard.

i realize this isn't what you was asking for. but, here's how i do my Lua npcs. you should be able to get the general idea of how LUA works.

if (File.Exists(Database.DatabaseLoc + "Npc\\" + NpcID.ToString() + ".txt"))
                {
                    Lua lua = new Lua();
                    ExplicitPackets ep = new ExplicitPackets();
                    Database db = new Database();
                    lua.RegisterFunction("Say", this, this.GetType().GetMethod("Say"));
                    lua.RegisterFunction("Link", this, this.GetType().GetMethod("Link"));
                    lua.RegisterFunction("Input", this, this.GetType().GetMethod("Input"));
                    lua.RegisterFunction("Face", this, this.GetType().GetMethod("Face"));
                    lua.RegisterFunction("Finish", this, this.GetType().GetMethod("Finish"));
                    lua.RegisterFunction("Teleport", _client, _client.GetType().GetMethod("Teleport"));
                    lua.RegisterFunction("OpenWareouse", _client.Warehouse, _client.Warehouse.GetType().GetMethod("OpenWareouse"));
                    lua.RegisterFunction("LoadSpawnPoint", db, db.GetType().GetMethod("LoadSpawnPoint"));
                    lua["NpcDialog"] = NpcDialog;
                    lua["Client"] = _client;
                    lua["InputText"] = InputText;
                    lua.DoFile(Database.DatabaseLoc + "Npc\\" + NpcID.ToString() + ".txt");
                }

if Client.Warehouse.Tries <= 2 then
	if NpcDialog == 0 then
		if Client.Warehouse.Password == "" then
			Face(1);
			Say("Please set a warehouse password for your securty.");
			Link("Ok.", 255);
			Finish();
			OpenWareouse();
		else
			Face(1);
			Say("Please input your warehouse password.");
			Input("Password:", 1);
			Link("Let me think.", 255);
			Finish();
		end
	end
	if NpcDialog == 1 then
		if (Client.Warehouse.Password == InputText) then
			OpenWareouse();
		else
			Face(1);
			Say("The Password You entered was incorrect.");
			Link("Let me try again.", 0);
			Link("Ok.", 255);
			Finish();
			Client.Warehouse.Tries = Client.Warehouse.Tries + 1;
		end
	end
else
	Face(1);
	Say("You have entered an incorrect password three times.");
	Say("Please relogin to try again.");
	Link("Ok.", 255);
	Finish();
end

Nah i got moving npc's , but the only moving NPC's i use are spawned as an entity so it moves and looks like a player character. That was one of my favorite idea's should look into that comes out pretty fun. Lua and c# used it once i liked it a lot. I'm not to good with it per say but good luck.

Indeed, you used to be able to send the movement packet with an npcid and the server would move it.
