Bernie doesn't attack Willow's targets

Bernie doesn't attack what you attack, as his leader.

This has two problems for me, 1 being that I unfortunately cannot use him to fight anything that doesn't hit back, or hit first, such as things like No Eyed Deer, Lure Plants, or Dust Moths, peaceful things I'd want him to help me kill, and that he doesn't actually attack things like Brightshades.

He attacks the creeping vine fine, but once the plant itself is open and vulnerable, he just stares UNLESS its melee attack hits him. Then he'll be stuck attacking it when its closed and triggering its AOE melee. Not ideal!
