-Each agent in an agent group navigates toward that groups target ([#at_x at_x]/[#at_y at_y]). To do this a preprocessed navigation mesh (visibility graph) is searched via the A*-algorithm for the most efficient path toward the target. The agent successively navigates toward a number of intermittent targets along the calculated path, each such target providing the direction of the driving force until it is reached. Each intermittent target counts as reached as soon as the distance between it and the current agent position is smaller than '''dist_to_int_target'''. Then, the next intermittent target along the path is chosen.

+NOTE: This parameter should be chosen in a way that insures that the next intermittent target is visible to the agent once the current one is reached. If not, agents could get stuck at obstacle corners.
