:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Sometimes, when I lure a boar and have given the villager several waypoints to go back to the Town Center, it randomly stops and starts shooting the boar.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • Less than 25% of the time / matches I play (RARELY)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Order villager to shoot boar
  2. After it shoots, order the villager to run away, and shift-queue several waypoints toward the Town Center
  3. Sometimes, after the villager gets hit while running away, it’ll stop and start shooting back even if it’s not at the end of its waypoints.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Villager should finish all manually queued commands before auto-attacking the boar.

Here’s the waypoints I set before the bug:

And here’s what happened after the bug:

I di not order it to stop and shoot the boar, it did so automatically.

It seemed to happen right after the boar hit the villager. Which suggests that sometimes, a boar hitting a villager causes the villager to insert an “attack boar” command at the start of its queue.

It happens around 5 minutes in this game:
