When playing Medic School I decided to add a goldstorm so I had something to do while waiting for mushrooms to spawn. But, at times the pet.fetch doesn’t actually bring the item to me. The pet runs to me, but I move away and he doesn’t actually give me the potion. Not sure what exactly is happening in the fetch code.

My pet did come near me, but before I took the potion I moved away and he returned to his spot. I’m guessing:

1. he got in range to say “I’m here”
2. I moved out of range to take the item
3. an attempt was made to pass the item, but I was too far away.
4. he assumed the potion had been passed

I was using pender with ring of speed.

Maybe it’s related with changes in `fetch`. @Catsync could you look this please?

I fixed a few oddities in the fetch code, and also because of those fixes, was able to make the level’s default `onHear()` code better. See if any of that helps?

I tried having a fast hero outrun the pet, but it still seemed to drop off the potions okay. The change in `onHear()` should fix one issue where the Hero says “Aaarg” and the pet’s returning with the potion would get interrupted by that hear event.

Still having issues:

In this case, he delivered the potion to me, but I didn’t regain health. He doesn’t appear to be carrying it anymore, but he thinks he is carrying something.

Here is my sessionID:

Ok, there was a problem where the Wolf would drink the potion instead of fetch it when moving fast 🙂 That should be fixed now. Might need to clear cache to get the fix.

The other issue seems to be fixed if you make the change to `onHear()`:

```python
    if startsWith(event.speaker.id, "Exp"):
        potion = pet.findNearestByType("potion")
        if potion:
            pet.fetch(potion)
            pet.moveXY(28, 34)

```
