Dancing Boar Bug

Interesting new bug has appeared.

While the princess is exploring the island of Ialysos, when she sees a wild boar and it charges her, the boar frequently gets stuck in a weird loop where it "dances" back and forth left to right (x - 1, x + 1) and freezes the game. Screenshot attached.

I can't find what's triggering this in the code. My best guess is that since the boar is on "random walk" something is getting stuck with the existing trigger that's telling the boar to change x in line with the princess.

Three reasons why this is perplexing:

  • bug only happens with x dimension, have not seen it happen with y dimension

  • the trigger code is copied exactly from the younger brother tag game and have never seen this issue during tag

  • have not seen this bug occur with the aurochs charge either, and the code is once again the same

** Shortcut to get to bug -- when starting new game as princess, walk to upper left corner of her bedroom for a powerup shortcut (includes Control Weather and Summon Animal Helper spells, along with frogs, butterflies, canteen refill and snack refill). Next, talk to your brother in back of the garden to escape castle and explore island. When you find a boar, chances are the bug will trigger. **
