This is what it says on the tin. A character with "Behaviour: Only process on full turns" will only run its script on full turns, so for example, if it moves forward every turn, then it will move every full turn rather than (as now) on full turns if the player is not speeded and on half turns if they are speeded.

The purpose is to make it much easier to script monsters, NPCs and custom elements that behave "as expected" when Beethro is speeded. Right now, to achieve this, you have to have a character that watches for the player at the locations of all speed potions -- which has to be hard-coded per room -- and then exceptions have to be coded if it's possible for any of the speed potions to be destroyed.

Hyperme tells me that this will be easier in 5.2 when the new _SpawnCycleFast variable is available, but a one-line behaviour would make things even easier than that
