2 Issues
When 'Wait Animation' is not specified, and wait activity is set to 'Play Wait Animation', monster will be playing it's last movement animation during wait time.
Monsters can be easily interrupted by blocking their way, interacting with them e.t.c. they will finish their route after dealing withinterruptions, but there is also possibility that they will start whole path from beggining instead of continuing from last node.When next waypoint is overflowed by 'Maximum # Occupant' monster that are waiting for free slot have problems with theiranimations.
Multiple monsters proceeding nodes with 'Maximum # Occupant' and animation set (e.g. 'Departure Animation' may cause issues with monster walking animation.
