Heroes/NPCs no longer misalign when changing speed mid-step or if speed doesn't divide 20!<br>
<br>
Should have fixed that long ago!!<br>
<br>
Also greatly improved "set hero/npc speed" docs.<br>
<br>
You can still cause misalignment by setting speed to 0 mid-step, and "set npc speed(npc, -1)" would also break things, but otherwise changing speed is now safe.<br>
This doesn't fix any problems that occur when misalignment does happen.<br>
<br>
Speeds 3 and 7 are the only previously-forbidden ones that are reasonable to<br>
use, as others cause jerky movement and don't offer other ticks-per-tile<br>
movement rates anyway.<br>
<br>
I tested Siv: Journey of an Egg, Trailblazers, It Came From Beyond The Moon,<br>
and Metamorphosis, no changes.<br>
Seems most of those didn't change hero/NPC speeds anyway, and none depended on<br>
misalignment behaviour. I can't think of any games that might do so, but if they<br>
do, it's probably unintentional/a game bug.<br>
