Making custom patrol routes in Zscript

[Ershantik]

I've been working on a way to dynamically set custom patrol routes for friendly monsters. I use Zscript to directly set the monster's goal pointer to the first patrol point in a route, and each patrol point's goal to the next point in the route. I read on another post that patrol points will automatically transfer their goal pointer when a monster reaches it, but that isn't happening. Once a monster reaches the first point, it seems to clear their goal pointer, and they just go back to wandering aimlessly.

I came up with a workaround using custom classes as patrol points that use A_CheckProximity. It works, but it feels kind of sloppy. Is there a better way I can do this?
No ACS. Zscript only, please.

UPDATE: I did some more testing, and I found out the patrol points need to have the TID of another patrol point passed to them as args[0] to work properly. Functions like UniqueTID don't seem to work in Zscript, so I used a for loop with actor iterators to generate TIDs for the patrol points, and the whole system seems to work.

I would still like to know if there's a more efficient way to do this, if anyone has any advice.

When you have an object's info window opened, there's a link on the bottom-left that sends you to the wiki page for that class, very helpful to learn how each class works

The ZScript version of UniqueTID is LevelLocals.FindUniqueTid(1) (I found it by searching UniqueTID on GZDoom's source code)
