Animals become frozen when leashed in a closed triangle (Animal A → B → C → A)

Description (required)

When three animals are leashed together in a closed triangle formation, all of them become completely frozen and unresponsive.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Spawn three animals (e.g., cows): Animal A, Animal B, and Animal C.

  2. Use leads to connect them like this:

    • Leash Animal A to Animal B

    • Leash Animal B to Animal C

    • Leash Animal C to Animal A

  3. Once the loop is complete, all three animals stop moving entirely.

❌ What happens:

  • The animals are frozen in place.

  • They do not respond to being pushed, attacked

  • The bug is 100% reproducible.

✅ What should happen:

  • The animals should still move and behave normally even when leashed in a triangle.

💡 Possible Cause:

The closed loop might be causing a circular leash dependency that interferes with their movement/pathfinding AI.

Environment
