Sadly no.
Hey, wassup wassup? My name is Warrior555MainsGanon (but just call me War) and I'm the main guy behind Megaman Zero Online and the upcoming Matt's Adventure! I don't speak often here but I'm a very friendly lad so if you wanna talk, don't hesitate!

not with NPC's per se, but using character movement commands you can make a player do these actions.

disable a player (use player 2 if you can), remove the npc and spawn the player in this place (you can't replace an NPC with a player, so make use of invinsible spawn blocks).
Code: [Select]
co op = true
disable player 2
destroy npc [NPC ID]
create player 2, [spawn ID]
for player 2
change character = [NPC ID]
I'm not sure if this works well at all, but you could give it a shot.

You can tell P2 to move to the NPC's exact coordinates.
