Merms are attacking chester.

Didn't know this was a bug, thought the merms were just dicks attacking Chester, so hopefully Klei sees this and fixes it

This is really annoying and since the comment suggests that merms are not supposed to attack chester, please fix their behaviour.

@ScottHansen

From merm.lua

local function FindInvaderFn(guy, inst)

    local function test_disguise(test_guy)
        return test_guy.components.inventory and test_guy.components.inventory:EquipHasTag("merm")
    end

    local has_merm_disguise = test_disguise(guy)
    local leader = guy.components.follower and guy.components.follower.leader
	
    return (guy:HasTag("character") and not (guy:HasTag("merm") or has_merm_disguise)) and 
           not ((TheWorld.components.mermkingmanager and TheWorld.components.mermkingmanager:HasKing())) and 
           not (leader and leader:HasTag("player")) and 
           not (guy.components.follower and guy.components.follower.leader and -- Prevents merms from attacking chester
               (guy.components.follower.leader:HasTag("merm") or test_disguise(guy.components.follower.leader)) and not guy:HasTag("pig"))
end

According to Mobbstar:

ah, you see... Chesters leader is not the player, but rather the eyebone itself
And the eyebone never has the "merm" tag afaik

Fix suggestion by Zarklord:

    local leader = guy.components.follower and guy.components.follower.leader
	leader = leader and leader.components.inventoryitem:GetGrandOwner() or leader

That will mean that for inventory items it will test for the owner of the item.

I tried it and it worked. Wild merms did not attack chester anymore if you simply add this line for leader.
Please implement that.
