For the dence muti-tiled mob I'll give you a link to some code that I gave someone else: 515013. Although it was origonaly made for a 3 tiled verticle mob i'm sure you can adapt it to fit you needs.

About the NPC thing I'm sure you can find libraries on them somewhere. You might have a bit of trouble making it compatible with the multi-tiled mob.

How to do it depends on the multi-tile movement system/method you use. The normal movements procs (Move(), walk()...) may be enough.

Well, there is a problem in that unless move_AddFOBJ is adding actual objects, then it's not the right system for you. I'm not sure what you're using to add the other parts.

To make all four parts move, you need to override Move() and move each one individually. (The tricky part is, you need to figure out what order to move them in based on your direction.) You'll also need to override Bump() so that if one of the sub-parts calls Bump(), it gets rerouted to the "head". If you use a system that also includes Bumped(), then Bumped() will also need to reroute any events to the head object.

Don't just copy and paste code somewhere without adjusting it and expecting it to work.
Also, to help you with an error, we obviously need to view the code...
