How do you make an npc face left/right/up?

[Regieri]

I'm not sure if this has already been asked in a thread i haven't been able to find, and if that is the case i'm sorry for asking this again.

I'm a beginner with RPG Maker, and I've been wondering how to make an NPC load facing any direction besides downward. I've tried using move route, but the event still spawns the NPC downward and just changes its direction a bit after.

Here's a picture of what I want to do just to clarify: The red arrow is the direction I want it to face (right) when it loads with the map.


Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

When you are creating your NPC event, you choose your graphic. These come up as 3 columns and 4 rows. Select the image that is facing the direction you want to be displayed when the map is loaded.

I strongly recommend that you work your way through Andar's compilation of info for new users. Spending some time on this now will save you a vast amount of time and frustration in the future.
