[MCPE-241350] Tridents do not hit a mob every time it is pushed.

Steps to recreate bug:

1.Download provided 2x2 Pausing Trident Killer world.

Load up any of the 4 trident killers with the number of tridents indicated on signs.
Turn on lever at the Etho clock
Turn on lever at the command block above chosen trident killer

Expected results: All mobs spawned by the structure block are killed immediately. These rates were confirmed in this trident killer over multiple versions.

Observed results: Mobs are not killed immediately, and tridents do not damage mobs every time it is pushed. This effectively eliminates the ability to use farms with forced mob spawning, such as portal ticking gold farms and silverfish XP farms, and severely lowers rates of farms using natural mob spawning.

For reference, this was the same trident killer working before the update.
