[OPEN] [JTB] Droid loops on Distraction Procedure

[iamsweetmystery]

Had this problem today on PS4. The R-Unit Droid wouldn't stop sparking and smoking. When I put it in my inventory, I couldn't place it back in-world. The inventory icon was different too. Instead of the full droid, it was the top-half NPC icon. I had to sell it and buy a new one.

I found a workaround:

After the LE, go into CAS from the Sim Info panel Likes and Dislikes pane. Don't make any changes, just check out so the lot will reload. The droid will be responsive again.

So, I can verify that this is still happening and it also seems to happen with the "Engage wait protocol" command. It's just that this loop on the distraction procedure is much easier to actually notice.

It looks like the routing command just loops and loops. I'm able to do the "swipe while distracted" action pretty much indefinitely, because sims in the area keep getting distracted over and over.

Edit: after playing around with this, it looks like the game doesn't seem to realize that the droid has already arrived at the locations its supposed to be at, and any time you move the droid to a new location (even deactivating it and picking it up) it'll try moving back to where it was instructed to go. This happens with both the "Distract here" and "Wait here" commands.

When I test with mods active, MCCC provides this in the last exception error summary:
