====================================================================
Waypoint Monster Following System
MG
4/10/97
.mintel will determine how many waypoints a monster will follow
before it doesn't know which way the enemy went and it will go into
wander mode.  A value of 0 will mean literally out of sight,
out of mind, once you're not visible, they forget about you.
A value of 1 will make them go to the last spot they saw you,
and that's it, they can't determine where you went from
there.  Potentially, they could track you forever without
seeing you but once, if this is desired, just make a VERY
high .mintel for the monster.  Note that when a monster
sees the player again, all his waypoints are removed
and he will "reset" follow mode, meaning if you leave his
sight again, the count of how many waypoints he follows
starts from 0 again.
What it can't do:
       *Can't make monsters navigate obstacles better
        when player is in sight (like water, etc).
       *Can't help monster find player better if he
        hasn't seen him yet, but this shouldn't happen often.
	   *Monsters still use idiot code to track waypoints.
Note:  this requires modifications to ai.hc (all the
self.th_run's) and an .mintel value for the monster.
