Bug Fixes:

• Fixed issue with pushable objects where the player could pull an object even when up against an obstacle (causing navigation paths to break)
• Fixed issue where vehicles would not turn when attempting to move up against an obstacle (to match the behavior of the player character when doing the same)
• Fixed issue where the space bar keyboard binding for interacting with adjacent entities would not work when attempting to enter a vehicle
• Fixed issue where the player was not able to enter a vehicle if standing on the same tile as the vehicle (would only work from adjacent tiles)
• Fixed issue where adding an existing party member to a map via "Add Character" then removing it with "Remove Entity" would break the party member functionality
• Fixed issue where using a cardinal direction for the "Move Direction" behavior setting and "Reverse Direction" for "Reaction to Obstacle" would cause NPCs to get stuck
• Fixed issue where the custom interaction cursor would not display for a scripted object with one assigned (only for tiles and characters)
