If you ask Halph to step on a pressure plate, he will pathfind to it correctly handling force arrows along the route and even on the destination tile.

But if Halph started on a force arrow, he will ignore it when finding a path back, which may cause him to stop a tile away because his path is blocked by the arrow.

I saw this in the 2024 Stocking Fillers contest, and I have a particularly crazy demo that made me think Halph was reversing that arrow. But when I made a demonstration hold, I saw he was just ignoring it (and doing his normal crazy things when paths are equal lengths).

This behavior happens in Steam 5.1.1.624 and GoG 5.1.1.533.
