Weapons & Equip Tracker Pistol

[Trash Boat]

This may be a bad idea, but I wanted to throw this out there.

How about a ranged weapon that sticks a tracker to an enemy (mechanics similar to the Pirana Gun, accept you don't have to hold the trigger, and you can switch the weapon without the effects disappearing) that adds an icon to the Map/Minimap and keeps the npc from despawning.

The tracker only disappears if:
1. The player is killed
2. The player leaves the world
3. The npc leaves a world boarder (WoF)
4. A respawn item is used (Magic Mirror)

Not sure if this would be game-breakingly OP, but if it is please be sure to comment you ideas/support.

Why would this be useful? xP

you mean that you could for example throw it on shark in the ocean, then go to spawnpoint and when come back to ocean the shark will still be there?

Well I thought mainly to keep bosses from accidentally despawning. I can't tell you how many times the destroyer has escaped my grasp,

That reminds me (I'll edit this in) using respawn items like Magic Mirror or Recall Potion will cancel the effect.

so its basically just for players who cant beat a boss without dying? - 3-

uh
It's destroyed upon death
So no, like I said, I've had lots of times where the boss I was fighting despawned from getting too far away.
