aimove: difference among normal, wander and boomerang

[Steven1985]

Hi, I'd like to know the difference ,about aimove, among normal, wander and boomerang.
Thank you in advance.

The use of wander is when an entity walks around without focusing on anything. Just walk around like nothing has happened.

Boomerang? I heard about it being a bug which you think you could throw it as a boomerang. However, I think there must be a problem with using it. @O Ilusionista can explain to you about that feature.

"Boomerang" is an unfinished leftover from long time ago. Then an ex-developper "finished" it, but added bloat code to the source.
I dunno if it was removed on 4.0, would need to ask to @DCurrent and @Kratus

• Chase - Always tries to approach the nearest hostile target directly as possible. If the target is far away (more than 150 pixels on X axis) and running is available, the entity will run to try and close distance.
• Normal - Generally approaches the nearest hostile, but with a bit of randomness to give it more organic behavior.
• Wander - Movement is fully random.

Don't be confused by movement vs. attacking. The entity will stop and attack if a target falls in range of any its moves no matter what mode it's in.
