Enemies hug the wall and get snagged on every corner they pass

The shortest route runs along the very edge of the walls, where bodies get stuck on corners and the player cannot see them coming. Here is how to make routes drift to the middle of a room while narrow passages still work.

Why this works

The shortest route often grazes every wall, where bodies snag on corners. Making cells next to walls cost a little extra, fading with distance, pulls routes toward the middle of open space and still allows narrow passages, which are just priced higher.

When not to use it

Skip it for units that should creep along walls, such as sneaking thieves or crawlers, or on tight maps where every cell is next to a wall and the extra cost changes nothing. Then it only slows the search down.
