advanced_npc/actions/actions.lua
zorman2000 554fde4643 Adds pathfinding library Jumper by Ronald Yonaba. This includes an implementation of the A* pathfinding algorithm which makes NPC now always get to their goal node.
Pathfinding: Adds functions that allows to map the Minetest 3D map to a 2D array to use by the pathfinding algorithm.
Actions: Use new code for find_path function. Improves door opening while walking on paths, and also now close them. Cottages fence gates and doors are also now supported in addition to the default doors and gates.

-- The NPCs will be able to perform five fundamental actions that will allow
-- for them to perform any other kind of interaction in the world. These
-- fundamental actions are: place a node, dig a node, put items on an inventory,
-- take items from an inventory, find a node closeby (radius 3) and
-- walk a step on specific direction. These actions will be set on an action queue.
-- The queue will have the specific steps, in order, for the NPC to be able to do
-- something (example, go to a specific place and put a chest there). The
-- fundamental actions are added to the action queue to make a complete task for the NPC.
