NPC triggers Mutator Zone Player Events

Summary

Having an NPC inside a Mutator Zone triggers “Player Entering Zone” and “Player Exiting Zone” events, while they’re not players. You can have the settings “Affects Guards” or “Affects Creatures” on or off, does not make a difference. Even “Affects Players” turned off will trigger the events.
