Feedback on QTPFPS pathing

[Kloot]

Now it doesn't skip waypoints at all when driving straight

Of course, you wanted them to:

When the unit is moving straight, not turning. It shouldn't skip waypoints like in 85

(my point about being as precise and unambiguous as possible should hopefully be clear now, the "like in 85" modifier again has more than one interpretation)

Tanks can drive through eachother in S44. In ZK they cannot. How do you make them bounce off eachother?

I already told you how.

How do you make the tanks drive through the other units? FPSing or is it possible to make units ignore pathing around other units?

It is just a function of relative mass (and speed and impact angle). So, give heavy tanks appropriately large mass-values in their UnitDefs compared to the light squishy peons.

Language fails me again.

This is unwanted

That would be an example of what we in our Inner Circle call a "bug".

[Godde]

Would it be possible that units would choose the shortest path in a situation like this?

[Godde]

About units being inside eachother. gerOpelblitz(truck), gerpuma(vehicle), kingtiger(tank) can all pass through eachother in S44. Infantry get pushed around by the vehicles though.
In ZeroK fleas push around Goliath.

Would it be expensive to check for unpassable terrain between the unit and where the next waypoint would be if the current was skipped?
If it wasn't so expensive or it would only be done when the unit is skipping waypoints "far away" it could improve the pathing as the unit would not skip waypoints to the other side of a obstacles for example. It would usually skip waypoints before on the right side of obstacles.

Yes, but it makes most paths more angular.

About units being inside eachother...

As I said, this was a bug (between mutually push-resistant units) and has been fixed.

In ZeroK fleas push around Goliath.

Moving units always have right-of-way over non-moving units, no matter their mass.

If the Goliaths were also moving, ZK has not made them heavy enough relative to the fleas.

Would it be expensive to check for unpassable terrain between the unit and where the next waypoint would be if the current was skipped?

yes

[Google_Frog]

What does "heavy enough" mean. Is there some relation with the mass tag or some extra tag?

[smoth]

probably the mass tag is my guess fwiw.
