Limitations and bugs

• NPCs do not intelligently follow their target. They will instead walk or run depending on distance directly towards it.
• If NPCs are following another NPC and that NPC needs to get past them, they will not move out of the way and the leading NPC will eventually give up.
• Keyvalues cannot be changed once the map has been compiled.
