Cave Hoppers not fleeing through the cracks
« on: December 09, 2012, 07:04:20 pm »
A couple screens south of the Junkyard, there's an area with some Cave Hoppers jumping around, eating shrooms, nothing unusual so far.

The thing is, once they see me, they rush for a crack in the wall and ... get stuck in front of it. They just stand there, not being able to pass through, making Cave Hopper collection a very easy task. Have they become morbidly obese from eating too many mushrooms, or is this a bug ?


Edit: spelling

that too funny, i never saw that though, maybe its because 2 different hoppers were colliding and the game wouldnt let them both through the crack at the same time....?

Specifically it's the most western hole, just before the gates to the precaves to junkyard. All other cracks work fine for me.

That's the spot. I haven't seen many Cave Hoppers anywhere else yet, so it might be just this one.

No, it works even with a single Cave Hopper.

Yeah, a shame cages are so expensive to begin with, profits aren't what they could be. But it's a nice, easy way to change your SGS currency to Stygian coins on your way to the Junkyard.

Yeah, they get stuck sometimes. I'm going to have to take another look at the AI code there at some point.
