Pet Transport Movement - Githubissues

kaytotes commented 4 months ago

My pet won't follow me onto the boat, the gap is too large or something. it runs back to the coast/land and despawns because of range.

This is a general issue with pets not being able to walk on to transports.

There are some major improvements here.

Pets can now walk onto boats/zeppelins, although their movement is a bit wonky.
They still despawn (demons refund a shard) if there is a loading screen involved in the journey, but on continuous rides like the feathermoon boat here they can now keep up and follow you. (Again, looks a little weird because they're stuck in the back textures of the boat propelling at ludicrous speed, but it's not very disturbing. You don't notice them unless you specifically look)
They can now walk onto elevators but can't actually travel with them (nor do they possess any ability to follow it) and just despawn. This is a major annoyance at Freewind post.
The miniboat at Southshore is a case study of its own where the pet actually provides quite a spectacle swimming in front of the boat for some reason (I presume its got something to do with the prediction movement added): Unfortunately still despawns when the boat teleports.

I will leave this open in hope of more improvements, resummoning the pet after every transport is terribly annoying for traveling warlocks!

Pets now resummon after teleport on the Southshore miniboat. Yay! No change on other transport.
