I'm having some issues with my A\* Implementation. It occasionally decides to do strange things on my grid, like ignoring movement costs and moving thru a high cost area, or going a tile in the wrong direction before getting back on track.

I've officially spent far too many hours on it then I'd like to admit so I'm reaching out to find a pair of fresh eyes.

```

    Node startNode = nodeList.Find (tgt => tgt.nodeID == new Vector2 (startID.x, startID.y));
    if (startNode == null)
        return path;
    Node targetNode = nodeList.Find (tgt => tgt.nodeID == new Vector2 (targetID.x, targetID.y));
    if (targetNode == null)
        return path;

    openList.Add (startNode);

        Node current = openList [0];
        for (int i = 1; i < openList.Count; i++) 
            if (openList [i].GetFCost () <= current.GetFCost () && openList [i].GetHCost () < current.GetHCost ())
