I think he means like this;
I have trouble with one enemy actor who follows my player actor. if the player actor is off the edge of a small cliff, the enemy will get stuck above him because one part of it is still on top of the cliff. this could be fixed by having actor parts.

Well, I don't think I can write program that would make the big work worth it. But thanks for the help!
Perhaps I will just mix parent and pathing and make the humen move little like in SouthPark.
