When calculating a creature's distance to a waypoint, should object size be taken into account the way GetDistance() does, or should it be calculated from the direct center of the creatures bounding box?

I have a PR open to implement the start_nearest_waypoint smart action, and it works fine, but if multiple waypoints intersect a creatures size, then the first one evaluated is always selected as closest, even if there is a waypoint closer to their origin

Unsure which way is the correct way to implement

FYI I have it working both ways on 2 of my local branches, just trying to decide which to push

Intuitively, to me, it would make sense that the _closest_ waypoint gets picked, even in the case where multiple waypoints are within the creatures bounds. The current GetDistance() results in weird behavior and wrong waypoint selection in cases where a group of creatures all spawn less than 1 yard from each other, and attempt to begin separate waypoints from each other
