Auto-walking to a marker should hand control back the moment the player or the world calls

Long walks across a big map are dull, so many adventures let the hero walk itself to a quest marker. It only feels good if touching the stick takes over at once, a monster stops it, and it can pick up again afterwards without starting over. Here is the rule set and the path walk that does not stutter at corners.

Why this works

Auto-walking takes control from the player, so it only feels right if control returns at once whenever the player or the world asks for it. Checking for that first, before any movement, means the hero never walks one step against the player.

When not to use it

Skip it in small maps where walking is quick and part of the fun, or where the route itself is the discovery. An auto-walk there only hides the world. Offer it for long, already explored trips and keep it off by default.
