Here's where I am so far in trying to understand what is going on when someone is supposed to go and take cover..

Question: Is InternalGetNewSoldierPath where the actual moving occurs? I'm at a loss (again)
Cheers!

FIRST:
DecideAction (from DecideAction.CPP) returns an action, but it also sets parameters for that action. Example with AI_ACTION_TAKE_COVER, where sBestCover is probably the coordinate of the best cover available...

pSoldier->aiData.usActionData = sBestCover;
return(AI_ACTION_TAKE_COVER);

SECOND:
ExecuteAction (from AIMain.cpp) tries to execute this action.
All the "movement orders" will call the NewDest method (from AIUtils.cpp) to set a new pSoldier->pathing.sDestination based on pSoldier->aiData.usActionData

THIRD:
NewDest
-sets pSoldier->usUIMovementMode (sometimes using AIUtils's DetermineMovementMode() method)
-calls pSoldier->EVENT_InternalGetNewSoldierPath( usGridNo, pSoldier->usUIMovementMode , FALSE, pSoldier->flags.fNoAPToFinishMove );

SOLDIERTYPE::EVENT_InternalGetNewSoldierPath is located in "Soldier control.cpp"
