Summary0007102: Clinging Fetor doesn't seek.
DescriptionClinging Fetor, when fired off, doesn't seek a target. I've tried it as anything from realllly long range to shoving it down their throats and it won't seek the target.

It appears to work if the enemy runs it over, but I'm not positive.

It would appear it clings too well! :)

Is this multiplayer?

I can absolutely confirm this in MP. I've not yet tried in SP.

It definitely seeks in Singleplayer, though it's maybe not as smart as i'd like.

Okay, excellent. I imagine that this is related to the NPC pathing issues in MP, and the health orbs thing in MP.

For solo, in terms of intelligence it just flies straight at the enemy, like a bat -- it's not literally pathing around objects. The idea there is that if this were too intelligent then you wouldn't need a clear line of fire to actually hit enemies, meaning that -- if you were patient enough -- you could just sit in a safe little hole and fling these out at a boss until he was dead. Also, for "point me at the enemy" type uses, it wouldn't actually be much use pointing since it would be moving away from the nearest enemy to go around a bend, then dying before it reaches them because of distance, etc, etc.

Thanks!

* MP: Fixed a bug that was causing any entities that were summoned by a client player to not show up as moving for that client player. So, for instance, rhinos and butterflies would seem to just stick in the air, as would the clinging fetor. All of them were actually moving on the server, you just couldn't see it.
