I may have found a potential fix but I need some help.
After having a dig into the Creature Isle Mac files, I found the following function: Living::MoveToPos((void))
Here's the IDB code for that function in CI:
After some debugging in game and forcing villagers to use many other variations of MoveToPos, it seems that each variation inherits from the code above. Even animals don't ignore altitude. I even tried forcing villagers to use the football variation of MoveToPos, but it still checked for altitude.
If the MobileWallHug::MoveTo((void)) function can be skipped, this may avoid checking altitude and make the villager just go to the position instead, which is what we want.
The only problem is, I'm struggling to find this function within the Creature Isle .exe equivalent. Even finding it within the more documented Black & White .idb is pretty tough. Any ideas how I could find this function in CreatureIsle.exe?
This pathing issue ruins playthroughs of Creature Isle, particularly my mod as it uses the Creature Isle engine as a base. Would really appreciate some help with this!
