[5.5.0 Tactical] Civilian pathing


Recommended Posts

On terror missions civilians in otherwise no danger will path straight into and through poison clouds (not ones that were dropped on them) and die. It's a little frustrating since I don't think we have a way to get rid of the poison smoke.

Thanks for the report! Yeah I don't think we have the AI set to evade harmful terrain effects yet (I think they won't evade fire either), improving the AI is one of the things we have planned out and hopefully we get to to work on it as soon as the more urgent bugs are out of the way

Yeah, kind of a coder-centric approach, and given that I don't know how the code works... I wonder if it might work to have the pathing route through hazardous effects be 0.00001 higher than normal tiles. If you make sure to set all display values to integers, and just use the double (or whatever) value for pathing, then it might lead to units not naturally pathing though hazards without working with the AI too much. And would help prevent Xenonauts from preferentially choosing to immolate themselves at every possible chance. =P
