I'm using change ownership instead.
There are some strange aspects to the jousting but they're probably just limitations of the game. For example, sometimes the jousters get only one hit in (good) while other times they manage to squeeze two hits in even though I have a fixed timer for them to disengage. Also, they sometimes don't disengage cleanly. Instead, one jouster does a 90-degree turn going perpendicular to the other jouster and pauses for a beat before passing the other jouster (collision/pathfinding issue, I guess). Oddly, this stuff occurs randomly.
I'm not too worried about it, though. I think players realize that the game has some limitations. I'll fool around with it before release but the system is currently functional to allow the player to participate in jousts.
