Just to prove that I even read things that don't sound appealing to me
from their subject line ;)
Isn't it simple to have some kind of priority for actions. I remember from
my sociology classes that there is something like that defined. Survival is
highest on that list, below that comes finding food and shelter and so on.
I can probably find the exact list if somebody is interested.
Commands that work toward higher level goals should override commands that
you are executing that have a lower level. Drawing your sword should over-
ride digging a hole as it has to do with survival, but eating bread in the
middle of a fight is plain silly and that command should be ignored until
the fight is over. In fact now I think about it, eating is really very low
level in this respect and almost anything you do that requires some concen-
tration is capable of making you forget you are hungry.
