There's actually a data structure value you can access to determine the state of a character...
if Characters["Tom"].State == 3 then
-- character is walking
else
-- character is not walking
end
Personally I'm hoping the devs will implement an hook function into the engine to listen out for when characters start & stop walking as it would simplify scripting walk based features for characters.
@ Sebastian.204: In theory that would work fine, but you've got to take into consideration that when a character has an object destination that they are probably going to immediately transition from walking to playing a character animation as opposed to reverting instantly back to idle.
You can create a hook yourself within a loop using what I wrote in the code box above, but it's only good for whichever character you add to it, or iterate through via a table & for loop, which is why I would prefer an hook function being implemented directly into the engine.
