Summary	0006298: CheckBlocked prevents slow-moving AIs from patrolling
Description	AIs with a very slow walking speed are slow enough that they trigger the "have I bumped into something" check. This prevents the spider_child and the tiny harmless spider from being able to follow patrol routes at all. See JoeBarnin's comment at https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/9082-newbie-darkradiant-questions/page/455/#comment-486317 for more detail. This could easily be fixed by making the cutoff some small fraction of the AI's walking speed rather than a hard-coded "magic number".
