Warrior General Games

I updated the bug thread that started this, so I'm just going to create a duplicate here:

The ball carrier on that play doesn't have any guidance at all (it's sort of special in that way). That's why he starts farther back - it's meant to have him try and find the best path on his own.

And after some discussion

Well, I tested adding in a waypoint hotspot in the middle of the play and it does tend to play out more as drawn up. I've added that to the test site's play list if you'd like to compare.

My game was before the change, so that's not a good game to watch for it.

Dumb question, but when Bort speaks of waypoints and "hot spots", what exactly does this mean?

So...is someone gonna run a test on Bort's new I-Blast pathing?

coding the play so that the HB is guided somewhat, doesn't end up far away from the blocking or the sensible path.

This. He'll pick x,y coordinates and make it so the HB has to be no more than x distance from that spot.
