Apologies for the shouting but this is important.
When answering a question please:
- Read the question carefully
- Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
- If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
- If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.

For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode "<" (and other HTML) characters when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Use HTML in this post" check box is checked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question into an unrelated forum such as the lounge. It will be deleted. Likewise, do not post the same question in more than one forum.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.
cheers,

The problem in a RTS is that you can move in a limited number of directions. A RTS is not a First Person Shooter or a physics engine, if you collide in a RTS the only options are keep going forward or go back where you came from until you reach the your last path node. Once there you have more options (but still limited to only several directions). For instance if two units move towards the same node, one heading West and the other heading South, South West or South East, I think the unit moving South Something should stop or go back while the other one should keep going.
If two units A and B collide head on you can use the rule “use the right lane”, I tried that it works. However if a third unit already uses what is “the right lane” of unit A, unit A will have nowhere to go. How do you proceed in a situation like this?

If the "nodes" are pixels, it's not a problem ... you have a lot more "nodes" to work with. "The limited number of directions" are what you imposed; it's not a "feature" of RTS per se.
(My units can "slide" around an object, if I let them; much like walking with one hand on a wall)

>you have a lot more nodes to work with
I think center of a tile or pixel is a question of resolution.

Please stop reposting the same question in multiple places. You already have some feedback in your previous post below. If you have some questions or comments then reply to the people posting the feedback.

Plus, he already knows the answer; he's only posting to test whether we're as "smart" as him. 
Apparently, he's notorious on other forums as a troll:

That's because your reputation precedes you.
You don't really discuss. You evaluate the people who respond to you and either discard them, ignore them, or "collect" them, kind of like sports trading cards.
|
|
|
|

You're still focused on "the question". At this point, it's irrelevant.
We're focused on YOU and how you treat people. That's why I said your reputation precedes you. Your behavior and treatment of people on other sites killed any discussion you possibly had, and the same is happening here.
Have a nice life.

A singular point of view. It's easy to go look you up on other sites and read through the threads.
|
|
|
|
|
And you're doing it again. You're using your question as a distraction to prevent you from looking at yourself.

I already have and I'm not the only one to point this stuff out to you. It's been done on other forums.

If someone claims that they can prove the sum of angles is not 180 degrees then I am not going to look at what they said.
If someone claims that they have a lossless compression method that can reduce anything down to a couple of bytes I am not going to look at what they said (I have actually seen a claim like that in a forum.)
If someone claims that the world is flat I am not going to look at what they said (I have read articles refuting such claims.)
I do not do that because I have taken the actual educational classes that demonstrate that those claims are false. I actually either did the proofs myself as part of class work or at least did a step by step analysis of the proofs and understood those proofs.
So I do not need to attempt to validate claims by others that they are wrong.
But I already pointed out that if you can prove your contention then write it up and submit it to a real scientific journal.
I also pointed out that if you can do that then there will be significant benefits to you personally by doing so.
So given that then why are you not busy writing up the article?

And a heart surgeon promotes homeopathic remedies. So thus those must work?

If you are already convinced then why are you posting here?

I don't care.
There are probably thousands of articles promoting cow urine as a cure for cancer and MBA's in India are presumably producing papers all the time on Astrology since that is a degree program in multiple universities.
What I said was that you should get published in a formal mathematics journal. At a minimal such a journal must not be 'pay per publish'.

It's a bot.

Probably because of your attitude and behaviour.

Please go back to whatever theoretical cave you crawled out of.
I'll stick to the more practical problems today, thank you.

Well big deal; there are plenty of people here who have more, less or the same experience and skills. But unlike you they do not abuse the forums or the people who try to help them.

You're following your reputation to the letter.
I still don't give a sh*t.

None of that means anything however in the context of the question.

And I learned what you are claiming has been proven to be false in about 1984. I learned the assumptions of the Turing machine and went through multiple proofs associated with it. And a lot more mathematics as well in many other classes.
