But then it would be a priori priory.
Ha! :cheeky:
BTW, nice to read it is nearing completion. Too many interesting building projects are lost along the way.

Very easy! Just give the AI a Rotate tweq on the Z axis, 360 degrees with the rate of 10. Faster rates makes it more frantic, but if set it too high he constantly walks against the walls.
It can provide an interesting gameplay element; for example you won't be able to easily walk up to the haunt and backstab him anymore, since you never know when he is going to change direction.

Very interesting, Ali! You could have it disabled on Normal, set to 5 on Hard and to 10 on Expert to make the patrol variability scale with difficulty.

Wouldn't it also rule out ghosting if the player can't predict when the AI will be looking away?

It might just make it significantly more difficult, I wouldn't say it would necessarily prevent ghosting.

No. As Yandros says, it just makes it harder.
You can ghost random patrols right now, depending on the exact circumstances (length of patrol, floor surface, objects to hide behind, etc.). It's just harder and you have to plan it out, figure out where the points of variability are, then react quickly and smoothly.
