What does sharing information with the merchant do? It seems that feature isn't implemented yet.
Yes, that's what I thought. I've slightly modified the script so that the character follows the shortest path using an A* algorithm. The problem is that the game wasn't originally designed with this feature in mind, so a few issues have come up. For example, the generated paths include diagonal movements, but the character can only move in orthogonal directions. As a result, to move from point A to point B, the character sometimes has to step off the intended path.
