It can be done from the script. When you first download it, all the sound definitions will look similar to this:
Tag[0] = ["SE_STEPROCK",100,100,"SE_STEPROCK",100,110] if @rr==0 #
sound = step_sound[0]
volume = step_sound[1]
pitch = step_sound[2]
pbSEPlay(sound,volume,pitch)
@rr = 1
else
sound = step_sound[3]
volume = step_sound[4]
pitch = step_sound[5]
pbSEPlay(sound,volume,pitch)
@rr = 0 if @rr==0 #
sound = step_sound[6]
volume = step_sound[7]
pitch = step_sound[8]
pbSEPlay(sound,volume,pitch)
@rr = 1
else
sound = step_sound[9]
volume = step_sound[10]
pitch = step_sound[11]
pbSEPlay(sound,volume,pitch)
@rr = 0Tag[0] = ["SE_STEPROCK",100,100,"SE_STEPROCK",100,110,"SE_STEPROCK",75,100,"SE_STEPROCK",75,110]
How would you distinguish NPCs from events that move but aren’t supposed to have step sounds?
Just that?
My mistake, I thought you were treating “NPCs” and “events” as two different things. (trees and doors aren’t really “characters”, after all)
Ah gotcha. Np.
Should be possible, I'll look into it. It might take me a few days though. It should be fairly simple, but no guarantees.
No rush at all. Please do take your time.

# PE Terrain Step Sounds v21.1
# Version 1.2
# by Enurta and Ikaro
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create nice aesthetics with terrain noise. As you walk across the ground, this
# will play a step sound to add a little bit of unique sparkle to your game.
#
#
# Features:
# Specific Sound for Each Terrain and Tileset
# Specify Volume and Pitch
# Round Robin code breaks repetition (no more 'machine gun' steps!)
#
# Instructions:
# Setup the config below as you desire, it's fairly self explanatory, more
# instructions with each config section.
#=================================================================================

# Enter in sounds for each terrain tag
# Goes from 0-15 for base Pokémon Essentials. Terrain Tag 1 won't be used as it is not used for normal walking space.
# Each terrain type is in the array below.
#
# You can specify the sound file, the volume, and pitch of the file.
# Tag[2] = ["Filename",volume,pitch]
# Filename - Replace with the name of the file that you want to use
# Volume - 0-100; higher is louder
# Pitch - 50-150; lower is deeper
# You can repeat the above three as many times as desired to make use of the Round Robin code.
# If volume and pitch are not specified they will default to 100 for both.
# OGG files seem to throw an error. Working on figuring out why.
#=================================================================================

# With tilesets, you can set specific sounds for each tileset so you don't
# have the same sounds everywhere. Add a new line and put
# Tileset[tileset id] = []
# Then for each terrain tag add
# Tileset[tileset id][terrain id] = "sound file"
# If a sound doesn't exist for a tileset, it will play the default sound,
# and if a default doesn't exist, no sound is played at all.
