0.76.1 Follow mode char jittering

Most of the time following characters are heavily jittering when the char they follow isnt moving/standing still. Very ugly.
Also it seems that the guards of a convoy are desperatly trying to "jitter" in formation when the leader is just standing around.

Very easy to reproduce: Take a few chars, let them follow another char, move a bit and wait till the leader reachs his movement target. Followers usually start to jitter around their leader.

I see the same thing when they're moving too. It used to look all nice when they would all walk the same speed and such. :(

My bet is this is a bug or unintentional side effect related to the implementation of formations. Which we don't have access to.

I assume you mean 76.2? Moving looks better now, though not as good as it used to. Standing still the characters are still all going crazy.

For me that was caused by following character stumbling on a followed, pushing them a bit, therefore, since "follow" is still applied they had to move a little bit more, to a new leader position, then stumble on them again, and so on. If not for phisics they'd just merge into leader :) And i think it's still presented in 0.67.2
