Mnemonic you are the man!! :-)
Now it works perfectly!
Now i have inserted another NPC, i call it "guard1" coz it's going to be one of the guards, and whenever the main actor gets too close to the exit of the camp, guard 1 says "YOU DON'T WANNA GO THAT WAY, PAL..." and then walks up to where the actor is.
The problem is that after guard1 reached the actor for some reason he repeats again his line and the both of them seem to be stuck in their Talk animation forever and the main actor is unable to move. Also for some reason when that happens, guard1 is on the foreground of everything...
lol sorry man, looks like i'm monopolizing you!
here is guard1 script:
