Openrct2: People are saying that Staff AI is considerably worse since the last stable

[Krutonium]

OS: N/A
Version: Since 0.0.3 at least.
Commit: Inclusive?

Explanation of the issue...

• [ ] Reproducable in RCT2 (vanilla)?
• [x] Multiplayer? (Technically, yah...)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Place handyman
2. Watch him be fairly useless, but still kinda work?

(Mostly in Streams and associated Chat's. Ask BlindiRL about it.)

I have the same problem, but, I don't know how to demonstrate this. The only solution I have found to this is to use the "patrols areas" with small areas.

[Wirlie]

Oh, I found a problem with Handyman.

Yah, that pretty much shows what blind was experiencing - His handymen were also turning around after picking up puke, every time as far as I could tell.

This might be related to #2499 as they both involve peeps making odd pathfinding decisions. However, since I know that the staff code was a recent decompile, it could be separate. I'll fix this issue if I find it while investigating the other one.

I'm not sure whether to put 'duplicate' on this bug, so I haven't done so.
Hopefully LRFLEW can figure it out, so we can ship a stable with pathfinding that isn't worse than it was in vanilla.

Yep. My paths are WAY dirtier now. When I open a park in normal RCT (through steam) they work fine again

@Wirlie do you have a saved game for that video you uploaded?

[LRFLEW]

@Wirlie I tried replicating what you saw (as it was the most clear-cut example I've seen so far) and couldn't get it to happen under an isolated instance. The closest I got was this (which is an original bug, AFAIK):

[Wirlie]

@LRFLEW @IntelOrca I think your problem was different to my problem because my problem still happens :(

Save game:
Vistas Infernales.txt

(Watch the handyman with the name "AHandyman bug :P") I tested this save game with RCT2 and it not happens...

Edit: Apparently at the first file I have attached, the handyman not have problems to find the "vomit".

In this save game the handyman have problems... (Tested on RCT2, and it not happens).

Save game 2
Vistas Infernales.txt

Sorry if I haven't uploaded a video, I haven't time for that...

PS: Thanks for your time :), Do I make another issue for this problem?

[LRFLEW]

@Wirlie Don't open a new issue. I'll work on it from here.

[Gymnasiast]

Should have been fixed by #3205 and 68d21e2 now.
