LoS timer on mobs/monsters

when I’m mining i don’t expect to get spitters and cuttletrunks and hopper noticing me when i’m 10 blocks underneath them, covered by blocks. I was thinking as a possible solution/workaround (yeah i know coding isn’t easy and i make a lot of suggestions, sorry)

if monsters had a Line of Sight countdown, not too short obviously, but if they can’t see you because you’re obstructed by blocks, they’ll stop attacking you. it would prevent a cuttletrunk who detected me underground from chasing me around and making it’s little squirp noise while im running through a cave where there’s no chance it can even get to me

Thanks faelan. You probably also read my thoughts on cuttletrunks post.

About hoppers too, if the cave tunnel is one block thick, and a hopper can jump high enough, he can blow up and you can take damage from that as well.

In that particular case, i’d class it as acceptable ;p it clearly heard you via vibrations through the thin wall and decided it would be able to damage you :wink:

I’ve had a few occurrences of cuttletrunks being able to shoot me through a ceiling as well. This happens on the section under my bridge that I was working on.

Getting one shot by a hopper on the other side of a wall on your way home after buying a fresh stack of tools is %100 BS.

FIX.

And yes, im mad AF about this…

I said similar to this the other day

Glad it’s being looked at! Hoppers exploding outside my wall and killing me inside, is a bugbear I dislike very much :frowning:
