The Dink Network

So I want this NPC character to walk around, stop, look around, walk some more the entire time. You know, like brain 16 (smart brain used for villagers). However, this character needs to walk in all 8 directions instead of only the 4 diagonals.

Is this possible?

I wanted to do something similar, and just ended up switching the sprite's brain between 16 and 10 at random intervals... It worked well enough, though this was for a boss, I'm not sure how good it would look with a peaceful NPC type.

Yeah, I figured as much. I have it looping switching from 16 to 10 at the moment, and it does the trick, but it would be much better if Dink's brain types weren't as limited as they are.

Thanks.

This is still a decent solution though, I'd much rather other parts of the engine were improved that we can't work around
