Read in the Plotscript dictionary under "Tweaking Maps". There is a section on Read Pass Block (x,y) that _may_ be of some help. I assume that when you mention the NPC 'seeing' the hero, you mean that the NPC is on the same viewable portion of the map as the hero. In this case, you could check all the tiles around the hero using the Read Pass Block and if one of the tiles is a wall, the NPC will not 'see' you through it. This could be achieved by getting the hero's position and checking the tiles around him by using a series of X++N and Y++N, where X is the hero's X position on the map and Y is the hero's Y position, in a loop structure.
