So, the scheme for partial automation looks like this: create some kind of dialog scene on any map with those "decorations" that you have in your hero/creature scene (the decorations, specifically the map with all these objects, will need to be found in the game's resources). Then place the creature itself as an actor (presumably at position 0, 0), move the camera, rotate it, and press E. After that, see what coordinates the editor has determined for such a camera.
