Hello,

If a monster goes diagonal behind a table or something, my character goes the other way to reach him instead of following him.
For example see picture in attachment please.

Thanks.

Edit: The picture is really small, I dont know how. Hope you can still see it.

Diagonals seem to be weighted a little too high.

Sorry, I dont fully understand you. Does that mean I can't do something about it?

No, it's an issue with the pathfinding. I'm assuming DarkstaR is using an A* pathfinding algorithm.

In that algorithm, you can give directions a 'weight', and it will end up choosing the path with the least total weight. He must have the weight for the diagonals set very high, as it favors walking all the way around.

Or I could be completely wrong.
