Not quite sure what you mean, the Pokemon games are top-down.

I mean the random move every few seconds that many npc do in Pokemon. Sorry for not specifying.

Set a random alarm every few seconds that set a new target locarion and move the npc towards it in the step event. When he gehts there distance is 0 and he stops

Nice, and how i can do the animation?

 

[Mann_mit_Hut]

animation? you mean movement? with something like:
if x < targetx { x = x + walkspeed }
if x > targetx { x = x - walkspeed }

if x < targetx { x = x + walkspeed }
if x > targetx { x = x - walkspeed }

I mean, when NPC isn't move, have the sprite idle... and when NPC start move change it for the sprite walking

if x > targetx { x = x - walkspeed }

I think he means how does me make it where the Npc has a walk animation while walking?

the video in the first thread shows a walking animation from your project and many other animations, so where is the problem exactly with this type of anymation?

I share how i make the player animation:

///Animation

 if (intMove!=0) image_xscale = intMove;
    if (place_meeting(x,y+1,obj_block01))
    {
    if (intMove!=0) sprite_index = spr_player_move
    
    else sprite_index = spr_cplayer;
 }

IntMove = Keyboard_check left and right, so... the problem is how i can know when the npc moves to left or right?

just combine your intMove technique by adding something like this to my code above:
if x < targetx { intMove=1 }
if x > targetx { intMove=-1 }
if abs(x-targetx) <= walkspeed { x=targetx; intMove=0 }
