Avatars This page describes how the avatar system interacts with the ambient animation and walk waypoints code. The basic idea is that avatar is initialized once when we start running it. That will set all waypoint variables on the creature and creature will not be deleted after that. For each different job parts we have different set of waypoints to be walked. We also have waypoint sets pointing how to walk out from each job part and how to walk in to each job part.
