Cant spawn in more than 1 npc?

[Taimtam]

I wanted to spawn in another angler, but when i click it says NPC already exists.

i swear you used to be able to spawn in multiple before, is this something new?

Also, trying to add a sleeping angler crashes the game

Terraria might be hard wired to ignore multiple npcs.

I'm sorry for bumping an old issue. I did spawn another (duplicate) cyborg NPC using a 3rd-party server. Both the original and spawned NPC show up on the NPC Data box (the spawned NPC can be renamed as well), World Analysis box, and Special Interest Points tool, but whenever I try to move the spawned NPC using Special Interest Points tool, it only moves the original one. Can we get an update to be able to move spawned NPCs? Or NPC Data box with editable NPC coordinates?

This should probably be added to the tracker on #1789.
