Sacred 2 Pathfinding Error

Player wants to mount spider on the front side

but an object is in the way (the horse).

Result: infinite tries of the same paths

Cause / Solution?

The character can't access the area in front of the spider, but it tries for infinity... (trapped in local minima?)

Solutions: Conclude that the goal can't be reached, or Make the dynamic objects respond to the character,

for now they seem static. Sidenote: The camera pathfinding 'cheats' in

making closeby objects transparent
