Suggestion: Dont go to walkto points automatically

In the General Settings tab, there is a 'walk to hotspot in look mode' checkbox that, if you uncheck it, the player wont go automatically to the walkto point of the hotspot. The problem is that you can only disable the 'go to walkto point' behaviour in look mode, so in any other cursor mode, you should remove the walkto point for the player not going there or doing what you want.
I wonder if there could be another checkbox like 'walk to hotspot in any other mode' or something like that, so you can script your own 'go to hotspot' behaviour, and you still get the good things of walk to points (easily set in the room editor).
I hope i made any sense  :)

Actually, I've been thinking about adding some sort of "Locations" thing, which would be similar to walk-to points, except that they wouldn't be specific to hotspots.

The idea would be that you could add these points to rooms easily in the editor and name them, and then there would be script commands for GetLocationX/Y to retrieve their coordinates by name.

If that would added, would it solve your issue here?

Prosk, here's what I do, but I don't know if it's what your looking for: Just elect NOT to set a walk-to-point, and just use MoveCharacter() in the case you do need a to walk up to it.

edit:
oops! bleh... i just missed the point: using the editor is simpler than scripting each walk to.

mmm... if locations would be 'linked' in any way to hotspots, like walkto points actually are, i think it would work, but if they are like a name for specific coordinates, i think the situation would be the same.
I mean, if you could get the location coordinates by telling the hotspot number  or so, it would solve it.
Anyway, i can continue without it, just that it would make some things easier, so dont bother so much  ;)
Thanks pumaman
