Bug Description

When a carrier that transports goods on the roads have to wait for another carrier (as the intersection is full or another carrier is about to move into the intersection) it appears as if to be walking - that is, the walking animation is not changed when standing

I personally like it that way because it gives a visual clue that your roads are over saturated. Also it looks like they are a bit panicking because they cannot get their work done.

+1 for keeping it that way. More opinions please.

Hello SirVer and thanks for great game!

I don't know if me saying -1 will have any impact :) but here goes

-1 for keeping it that way. I think wares all over the roads are a visual clue enough, but the carriers could have a distinct animation for waiting. Some ideas: Putting the ware down for a while to rest (probably too much work, and confusing), sink down a bit/lowering the shoulders (like you would when stopping and carrying something heavy). Just my two cents :)

I prefare, Anders' solution, as it sounds nice to watch.

Anyway, *if* we decide to change it that way, let's change this to a "wishlist" item with low priority - as implementing such a feature will take quite a lot of time (especially for the graphicians) and there are much more other things more important :).

Like Nasenbaer, I have to side with Anders, also. But I especially agree with Nasenbaer's approach. It is a good candidate for the wishlist.
