Not a bug, wrong setup. Search for sleeping AI in TDM wiki. |

I had already looked at this page before opening the report: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Path_Nodes path_sleep is only referenced once here, no special specific notes. I looked at the one you suggested too: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Sleeping_AI It does seem to recommend targeting a path_wait with the path_sleep which I wasn't aware of. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me still: If path_sit can directly use a "wait" and "wait_max" without having to target a path_wait, why is path_sleep different? It seems to be the same thing in terms of functionality, just that path_sleep has you lay down instead of sitting on a chair. So even if this isn't a bug like I initially thought, it still sounds like something might be out of order and good to look into... of course I don't know enough about the design to say this with certainty, opinions from other developers would be helpful here at this stage. |

Yup, there's a slight inconsistency, but that doesn't make it a bug. Path_waits and wait spawnargs might be worth discussing on TDM forums in terms of proposed feature or design change. You can use path_waits with path_sit and _sleep in the same way you use them with path_corners. |

I suggest changing status from "new" to "feedback". |

I vaguely remember what this was about, and I'd still agree with improving it if possible: path_sit allows you to set a waiting interval directly on the entity whereas path_sleep doesn't... I never saw a reason why one should support waiting but not the other as they're different variations of the same thing, it would make sense and be easier (one less entity needed) if waiting worked the same way on both. |
