It didn't seem like a good idea (in a game with 100's of players in the server) to have players responsible for syncing the actors. Players could easily mess with that data and disrupt the game. So I can't easily add a function to make actors run to a certain point because it would not sync in all cases -- and scripters here would be crying "bug, bug!" even though it's just a limitation of what SA-MP is working with.

The actor limit is 1,000. The idea of actors is that they can be used in shops etc.
I don't think there is a NPC limit, so I assume it depends on how many slots your server has.

Hope this helps.
