Deleted paths while paused and replaced them, but now all guests are "stuck"! help!

[toastedtoast]

So i had to redo some inefficient tracks and i removed them while i paused the game and replaced down better paths using the grid system. the problem is, now ALL my guests all over the zoo are stuck, waving their arms around ( i didnt even redo the whole path, just the front entrance area) and when i try to manually move them, they just stay stuck. i tried to save and quite and reload, its still the same problem. I tried again to delete and replace everything, they all got stuck at the entrance and no one could move - i started to manually move them inside and even though theres alot of path space, they're still all just standing in place waving their arms.

When you remove the path under their feet they'll just despawn, maybe that would help. I guess problem was that you did it while in pause mode

Have you tried setting your zoo to 'closed' for a short time. Should cause the game to move all guests towards the exit. It might unstick them, unless the game has lost track of them as guests.

thats what caused the entire park to freak out, origionally only the entrance area guests were stuck, so i closed the zoo and then the whole park guests got stuck, opened it again and still stuck.

So i managed to delete every single path while the game was unpaused and closed the zoo, so all the guests got kicked out. now theres two problems :
1) i have staff members who quit and are now stuck and wont move
2) ticket entrance is set at 0$ and guests are still turning away from the entrance.

I had a similar issue in my franchise zoo this morning, except whenever I'd delete a path from under my guests and go to fix it, my game would crash. :/

Are you sure you did connect the path to your entrance again properly? I sometimes get problems when I create around this area (though my problems are not that severe as yours is). If so, try deleting it and rebuilding it from scratch.
If everything fails, just set some animals free, if it does not get them moving their butts I don't know what will.
