#3586 AGI: Character loses final walking position
ScummVM 0.12.0svn (Jan 20 2008 08:26:47)
Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 zLib MPEG2
Click somewhere with the mouse to send the charcter.
Then type something while the character walks and
press enter, then discard the popped up window with
enter and see what happens ...
the character doesn't stop at the intende position
rather he continues in the same direction until some
obstacle stops him
Walk code with final destination seems to be
interrupted and changed/killed/erased
Gold Rush! (1.01 1989-01-13 aka 2.05 1989-03-09/Amiga/English)

You don't actually need to press enter. Pressing any key should do the trick. It should be reproducable in any AGI game.
This happens because any key press resets the ADJ_EGO_XY flag in keyboard.cpp, handleController() without clearing direction if that was set by the ADJ_EGO_XY feature.
It might not be safe to reset direction when clearing ADJ_EGO_XY since ADJ_EGO_XY is also used by cmd(adj_ego_move_to_x_y).
No, this is how AGI is supposed to work and is intended behavior. The main reason is that AGI initially had only directions, and the actor _has_ to follow the choosen direction after the user inut.
I checked with original, as well as with other implementations. Rejecting.
I thought the mouse-targetted walking was an enhancement over the original AGI engine, but maybe I'm wrong.
Are there original AGI games with mouse support? The ones I tried all only had keyboard support.
Amiga versions used mouse.

Well, only if you would stressed that at the beginning :)
I will try to look into that.
okay, what does happen if you provide some legit command like 'look'? Does the actor continues going to the destination?
Yes.
On pressing RETURN ego just walks along tofinal destinantion and stops
On typing e.g. "look" and clicking away the pop-up window, does make ego walk to the final destinantion and stop aswell
Fixed in svn.
