Ok Samb! I've completed your requests. Here's the update for you.
For everyone else... I'll create a new complete download package soon.

Here's a summary of the changes:

1. I've added a .dll function called pf_set_backtracking(). Backtracking defaults to ON, but using this function, you can set it to OFF. For example:

pf_set_backtracking(off); // do not allow backtracking

2. I've created a new function called fp_get_random_node() which returns a random pathfinding node. An example to move an actor to a random node might look something like this:

Code:

---

	// Fetch the entity * of a random node

	dst_ent = pf_get_random_node();

	// Calculate path to node

	pf_to_ent(my, dst_ent);

	// Face actor to the correct directon

	my.pan  = my._PF_PAN_TO_TARGET;

	// Move actor

	move_mode = IGNORE_YOU + IGNORE_PASSABLE + IGNORE_PUSH + ACTIVATE_TRIGGER + GLIDE;
	ent_move(vector(time * 10,0,0), nullvector);

---

Don't forget that you can use my._PF_REACHED_TARGET to test to see if the target node has been reached. Also remember to test the return value of pf_to_ent. If it's 0, then there's no clear path to the target. (I skipped this step in my example.)

Cool beans! I hope this helps out!
