7/7 Snapshot - BG "Wait" not working

[Soul Harvester]

I apologize if this is already submitted, for some reason on this dialup connection I cannot access nearly half of sourceforge.

In the 7/7 snapshot in a new game, I went to the isle of fire, and asked Iolo and Spark to "Wait". I teleported away (using the moongate) then teleported back (test of courage moongate) and poof - they were gone.

Iolo was loitering in Smith's stable, and spark was back in trinsic, eating, even though I'd asked them to wait.

Sorry ... 1.1x release

I've noticed that problem in the 1.1x branch for awhile. In fact, has it ever worked right? Iolo seems to be the worst offender for me, wandering off even before I walk or teleport away. A character that does it just seems to return to their normal business schedule.

This is the first 1.1x release I've used so it might have been broken since the beginning. Doesn't prevent anything, although is fairly humourous. Spark is heartbroken that I make him leave, but I tell him to wait, almost a promise that I will be coming back soon - And what does he do? Runs off to the trinsic pub and gets toked up on Ale.

Maybe the party members get bored and wonder off if you don't come back soon enough.

It has nothing to do with how long you're away. As I said above, sometimes they'll wander off the very instant you say "Wait here".

I'd like to fix this, and had it happen to me the second time I tried it. But I can't get it to happen again, despite 6 tries. I'll try a few more times, assuming you're right that if they're going to wander off, they do it immediately.

IIRC spark and iolo stayed put until i teleported away in the FoV test... i teleported back and they were gone, instantly, as if their schedule kicked in and the game teleported them to the proper place.

I've tried it several ways, teleporting away, hitting ctrl-t several times to pass time. The problem only happened once, and I wasn't able to repeat it. What's supposed to happen is that they get put in the 'wait' schedule; and once that's set, it shouldn't change until you ask them to join again.
