Townie glitches on same square [SOLVED]

[townsplayer]

Windows 7 running towns 0.42b

Mortally wounded civilian goes from hospital to eat from barrel. Instructed to equip armour during eating. After eating, civilian is stuck on same square as barrel moving back and forth (much like the fighting mode) and does not move to complete any task. After right clicking task still shows as `equip`.

I tried changing the task by converting to soldier and back and also un-equipping. Task changes but civillian does not move from the square and remains glitchy even after quitting and returning to game.

I have observed this happening before but unsure whether the circumstances were he same.

I saw the previous bug report on your townies being stuck because of the fight task problem. I've had several townies frozen while trying to equip as well.You said previously that the fight task problem will be saved by a soldier mechanic in the next build. Will freezing while equipping be fixed too? Maybe a clear task option could be added to solve these problems.

I think this should be joined to the `Townie glitches on same square post that I posted an hour or so before this. By the looks of it it is the same problem. Is it always on a square with a barrel?

You both are right, tonight I will re-code the equip task

Solved in next build, thanks!

By the way, can you confirm me that that "Equip" task is not the "autoequip" one? Thanks

Yes it was `equip` not `autoequip`.

Also - Autoequip does not equip the best available armour, am I correct?

No sometimes they chose the junkiest..

I think it is like First items on the ground then items in stockpiles then items in racks? I think I read... But I'm not certain what order.
