Weird

Another strange thing. Doesn't work if you go slowly towards to trap door...

Yeah

Both of these happen because the seeker only analyzes the world once when it chases. It doesn't update the world intake information until after it's done. Thus, when you open the door, the seeker doesn't know it's open until after it hits it, then proceeds. Likewise, it charges forward, and you open the trapdoor. The zappie, remaining bliss, charges into it and becomes trapped.

Watch out, though, because it's still deadly if you touch it, as shown in this demo. And it won't ever chase anything again.

Showing the points I mentioned. Just TRY to get past that switch on the bottom without triggering it. It's a LOT harder than it looks.

hehehe... I feel so smart.

Hmm

The top one only works that way if you trigger the trap door AFTER the drone charges.

Also, the bottom one only slows if you trigger the charge while left of the door. If you are on the right of the door when it starts its charge, it will charge full speed to the wall.

Interesting stuff.
