+If the bots service want to pathfind to some location, they must ask to the

+pathfinding service?, and the pathfinding service must ask to the "state

+tracking" ?, suposse that i have a bot script, running in the bot service,

+in some routine i must see if i can walk to some location, on the nort, on the

+ south, etc, to decide later where i will walk.. then.. each bot script

+get_is_reachable() function will trigger a query to another service, and must

+wait the response of that service to continue the code execution.

+for thousands of scripts, that will be too slow, without thinking in the

+"wait, is your query is in the queque" issue.

+and btw, what scripting language do you plan to use for the code that will

+execute in thousand of instances..?
