Bug #294

Dotty becomes untouchable when surrounded by dug-out area, causing bugs to freeze

Reported for:	S05.07

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to the Ommoran Heartstone.
2. Dig out an area below Dotty big enough to make her float and prevent bugs from reaching her (this may need to be done before dotty arrives at the heartstone but has not been tested.) A resupply may need to be placed under dotty to prevent her from dropping
3. From there, observe that all non-ranged bugs will either target players or try to reach Dotty and just end up standing as close as they can, without doing anything.
4. Note that Dotty is still able to be hurt by ranged bugs, meatballs, and beamers.

Explanation

Dotty can be made almost immortal by digging out the area under her. this makes all floor bugs confused when getting as close to her as they can, so they just stand there. Due to the same reason, floor bugs cannot path to a player atop dotty, and have no way of damaging you. I have tested this multiple times, all of which have succeeded.
