Record path then take it (again and again). about cataclysm-dda HOT 5 OPEN

This would be wonderful. Yes! The ability to create a path using intermediate points that you walk through. The old AD&D CRPGs like Baldur's Gate had pathsetting features like this, where you'd right-click in a sequence and your character would walk in optimal sub-paths to all those points.

You know, this reminds me. Vim has a feature where it records keystrokes into macros. You can play the exact keystrokes back by invoking the macro. If you were implement it this way, you wouldn't have to rely on pathfinding; but you would be at the mercy of your own macro definitions, if you know what I mean. Not only walking, but also other repetitive activities could be handled this way. Just a thought.

My current local implementation records the tripoints you step on specifically. I don't want to get into the weeds of key recording. I want it simple and bug-resistant. This also allows for some QoL optimizations that you couldn't get with plain key recording (the loop detection).

I hope to make a PR today (at least a draft).

I am not implementing any visuals to the path. This PR displays NPC path on overmap, maybe I could steel from it:
