About scout minion

In this section, talk about how DM2 uses record to remember next info.

• Creature generated point. It means where you generate the minion. Probably minion won't use this info.
• Recent opened door. If minion is to go thru close door, first minion opens the door with zo spell. And minion closes the door after minion passes door.
• Destination. X marked point you selected in the minion map.

Look at the next figure.

This is complex, but this shows how scout minion represented in saved game map.

Next figure shows about 3 records' usage for scount minion.

All destination point (creature generated at, recent open door, destination) shares same format.

The word value's binary format is: ZZZZZZXXXXXYYYYY

ZZZZZZ is map number (from 0 to 63).

XXXXX is x-axis location (vertical direction in editor map view) from 0 to 31.

YYYYY is y-axis location (horizontal direction in editor map view) from 0 to 31.
