Script version and build:2.3 R2
What exactly were you doing, with who, where etc.:Moving an NPC with a car.
What did you expect to happen, and what actually happened? What is the bug?Prior to 2.3 update they returned to their original positions if moved half a meter away. Now they can be moved (Mechanics/Medics/Drug dealers, Bribing cops etc). Already seen some in wrong places. Moving them might be abused to create roadblocks or doorway blocks. Or just moving drug dealer away from their designated spot, for example.
Have others experienced the issue?Yes. Many NPCs are in wrongs spots already.
Have you experienced the issue multiple times?+
Can you replicate the issue? If so, please provide steps to do so.Video
Can you think of any special circumstances that might have caused the issue?NPC position doesn't reset
