      Hello everyone,


      I hope this is not old news..


      Today I noticed that when staring down from a high point in my big room, 
      that the guard on patrol didnt walk, but sort of slid along the floor, not 
      walking, but still in motion. I did notice this in the original mission, 
      "The Bonehead", too. This rather spoils my entire level idea 


      Is there a way to switch this off?

      Same problem, only mine don't float, as in the bonehoard. They stand with 
      their arms straight out until I get close, then they patrol. Not very 
      intimidating.

      Old news.
      The graphics engine saves CPU cycles by not animating creatures beyond a 
      certain distance from the player. Don't worry about it, and keep playing 
      Thief and/or making new levels.

      If you have AIs that you want to be active and visible in places with long 
      sight lines, or extreme Z differences, give them a custom "AI Efficiency" 
      property, which tells the AI how far away is considered safe to enter more 
      efficient modes.
