====== Walking Type ======

**Walking Type** is a property of mobs that determines what types of terrain they can move on in Remixed Dungeon.

==== Walking Types ====
  * **NORMAL** - standard movement, only on passable tiles
  * **WATER** - movement on water tiles
  * **WALL** - movement through walls (e.g., [[rpd:shadow_mob|Shadows]])
  * **GRASS** - movement on grass tiles
  * **CHASM** - movement over chasms
  * **ABSOLUTE** - absolute movement, can move on any tile

==== Application ====
  * Walking type determines where a mob can spawn
  * Affects the pathfinding algorithm when a mob moves
  * Determines the ability to move on specific types of terrain
  * Each walking type allows movement on different terrain types (normal, water, walls, grass, chasms, or all terrain)

==== Technical Implementation ====
  * **Java Class:** [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/actors/mobs/WalkingType.java|WalkingType.java]]
  * **Mechanics:** Each type has a different passableCells array determining where they can move
  * **Spawning:** Different types use different respawnCell methods to determine spawn locations
  * **Movement:** Used in pathfinding algorithms to determine valid movement locations
