@hacknet yes, code outside the loop is executed every time your code is re-initialized globally. This is down to the way screeps code is running, and is called "global reset". You must work around that fact that it happens from time to time. Judging by the fact that you said it's happening every like 10 ticks, you're likely running it in sim. Simulation works a little bit differently from actual MMO server in that it resets globals a lot more often. On the actual MMO server due to the new IVM code your globals can often last for tens of thousands of ticks at once, but you still have to consider they will get reset once in a while.

If you absolutely want some of your code to only execute once and then never, you'll have to resort to using Memory flags for a permanent trigger.

When iterating through Storage.store (or any other .store) via for (var key in room.storage.store) one of the keys returned is .toString function, which I think it should not be returned.

Nope. That's all I could manage to get from it. Just says "suspicious webpage has been blocked". The lack of verbosity of any kind disturbs me in this product. I needed to add exception to even view the damned address it was complaining about. I'll likely be switching once the license expires...

Loaded address: screeps.pacloud.online:21025 (unable to find the complete url, though). But whatever is loaded from there is detected as a threat.

Web client does not appear to trigger anything.

I'll miss Creep.carry, but .store is my preferred way of storeing things.

@mrfaul said in Pathfinder flee going through structures:

Since in the usual case the Pathfinder should treat your goal always as walkable

Actually, that is not true for PathFinder.search() If you try to run it w/o any modified costmatrixes into a, say, source, you'll likely get an incomplete path, and nuke your ops.

@deft-code even more so. Thanks for correcting me!

@elynx don't forget to also set swampCost if you're setting plainCost, to keep them at the proper proportion.

Footnote: for (X of Y) doesn't work for all kinds of objects for (X in Y) would... So be warned. But it certainly works for simple arrays and objects.

It's always been like this, because roads modify the CostMatrix for the pathfinder from default terrain values. They also make swamps more easy to cross too. Ignoring roads will return swamps to their "hard to navigate" state as well (could be added to the documents, though).

Now, the question is, why are you ignoring the roads? From my experience there is absolutely no benefit from that outside of making sure they don't wear down as fast.

If you're trying to make your creeps treat the roads equally to normal plains, you can achieve so by setting plainCost to 1 and swampCost to 5 in the moveTo parameters, this will make roads equal in weight to plains, and creeps will choose the shorter path, however, creeps would still choose to take roads over swamps and walls.
