Made wildlife and vehicles obey shared turns

Ctrl+Space enters manual turns, and the world waits while the player plans.

I added manual turn control through Ctrl+Space and made wildlife follow the same turn phase as the player.

Animals and vehicle physics freeze while the player is planning instead of continuing to move around a paused survivor.

“I added manual turn control through Ctrl+Space and made wildlife follow the same turn phase as the player.”

The clip compares native roaming with the planning phase and an end-turn action. It keeps the existing wildlife state running through the normal game rules.

Neutral wildlife does not lock the player into combat. Leaving manual turns still respects hostile-contact rules; this is not a claim that every possible encounter has been tested.
