Re: [glob2-devel] Warrior behaviour

[Hein-Pieter van Braam]

Hi,

can you please explain to me what the else block on line 1663 in Unit.cpp is 
doing there? it seems that the warriors are a bit more sane without it, if I 
understand it correctly, it causes the warriors to walk to the upper left if 
they don't have anything else to do. I don't think it should be there, or 
should at least be replaced with something random, maybe "Bind" them within a 
reasonable radius from the closest hive?

greetings,

hp
