icon Character with "Construct" appearance won't push mirrors (+1)  
Constructs can push things like mirrors and powder kegs. They treat them as non-obstacles. Normal.

But if I have a custom character whose appearance is construct by any of the three ways of making it a custom character with base "Construct", making a character and having it visible with appearance Construct to begin with, or using the command "Set appearance Construct", and give it an order to move north into a space where there's a mirror, it won't move until the mirror is gone.

It should behave the same way a character whose appearance is "citizen" or such does, and just push the mirror along.

I was hunting for some other bugs that were meant to be fixed but weren't and it caught my attention.

Things fixed for the release candidate after 5.1.0.6462:
- Construct NPCs can push mirrors and kegs and also drop trapdoors when moving

Thanks! May we mark this issue as fixed?

No because I am rolling this change back as it completely broke Englos Defense. I guess it's an unfixable issue at this point. In the future I'd like to make it possible to set specific abilities for NPCs, like being able to push things or wield a weapon or be resistant to stabs etc, but for now this won't be possible.

BUT! I kept the Construct NPCs' ability to drop trapdoors. So that's a change that needs to be verified.

Tested in 5.1.0.6478. Construct NPCs drop trapdoors over both pits and water, as well as thin ice over both water and shallow waters.

A related bug: Guard-type NPCs can push mirrors/kegs with body, which they should not be able to. Would it break anything to fix this?
