Why won’t I “eat” the potion? I am not dead at this stage and the pet is at me, yet for a few seconds with me still being alive I don’t say the usual “I feel GREAT!!!”

Have you used pet.fetch(), or pet.moveXY()? Maybe you need to make the pet move to your exact position, rather than either next to you, or where you _were_ when the pet moved.

I’ve used

```python
potion = pet.findNearestByType("potion")
if potion:
    pet.fetch(potion)

```

Ok I’ll try making the pet move to my pos

I’ve put it in a function. THis is the function, and I’ve called it.

```python

def onSpawn(event):
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    
    while True:
        enemies = hero.findEnemies()
        potion = pet.findNearestByType("potion")
        if potion:
            pet.fetch(potion)
            pet.moveXY(hero.pos.x,hero.pos.y)

```

but in other the kithgard brawl you helped me with, the one with the fire traps, fetching potion worked…
