Path-finding
- quick and simple Best First Search algorithm
- incorporated smoothing
- GM-functions free (no mp_grids)
- full GML, no dlls

Path following
- units can avoid each other without smashing into walls
- can handle queues and bottlenecks
- customizable steering options

Collision engine
- doesn't use sprites (will be easy to port on Enigma)
- can handle really fast units
- "collision_line_width" like functions
- "collision_line_first" like functions can be implemented
- splits the maps into cells to cut down pointless checks

Editor
- real-time
- easy to use
- lets you build your own paths
- eliminates the need of having dozens of wall objects

Others
- supports units of various sizes
- GM save and load won't work, use a custom replacement

Notes
- units will never give up seeking their way until they can see their destination, can be changed on demand
- if the destination point is too close to a wall, units won't even try to get there, no quick fix
