I dunno what happened, these used to look retailish but now they animate fast and move slow. That kid in south sandy is pretty much crawling, and cactrot rapido looks like he's having a seizure as I pass him by. I should not be outrunning rapido.

Rapido is funny. Sometimes he slows down then he'll speed up.

they slow down at each point on their path, the more points there are the more noticeable it'll be (easy way to tell is to stalk them and stick prints in their onPath functions in their scripts)

no idea if this will still be an issue when navmeshing is done, so i'll blame it all on bendangelo til then (apparently i forgot to submit this comment til like 5 mins later)

at any rate, for mobs it's due to the path being cleared if they're too far from spawn point so when the pathfind crap checks if the mob is following a path, the path is cleared and a total of ~15 sec delay is added (see: github/DarkstarProject/darkstar/blob/master/src/map/ai/ai_mob_dummy.cppDarkstar Issue L213 github/DarkstarProject/darkstar/blob/master/src/map/ai/ai_mob_dummy.cppDarkstar Issue L2389 github/DarkstarProject/darkstar/blob/master/src/map/ai/helpers/pathfind.cppDarkstar Issue L246)

I'll take a look into this. Mobs with a scripted path shouldn't be running roaming logic at all.

xdemolish That check only happens on mob disengage, it won't happen when the most first spawns. I think the issue lies in mob speed and the distance between points. Rapido runs much further than most points on his path. Which causes him to stutter as he moves to points.

This has to be looked into more/

This can close, npc pathing issues have changed (there are still issues though, but doesn't match the original description for the most part)

as for rapido it was the pathing is simply very poorly performing. lots of nodes will bog it down, and the run flag makes it even worse (take the run flag off and things move faster - thats not supposed to work that way!)
