Is the Eye Manipulator challenge working properly? I cleared the room with the Eyeball Preserver challenge, hit a beacon, and came back in to do the other one. Did it with five eyeballs on the outer paths and didn't get the challenge, then I realized I could do it with four and wondered if the one at the end of the corridor was included. But that didn't work either.

Is there something weird and non-obvious about the conditions for meeting the challenge, or is a misplaced End command the culprit here?

On closer inspection, it seems my good intentions with adding the seeding beacon were counteracted by an End placed in the challenge-awarding character by an earlier me who thought it wouldn't cause any problems.

Terribly sorry about this, and I don't think I'm allowed to upload a fix for it? Either way, restoring should allow you to get the challenge since challenges are preserved across restores (at least, as far as I can remember).

Even worse, it seems the other room I tried adding a seeding beacon for dual challenges to also has this problem.

Yeah, I restored to a point where I hadn't finished the room and took care of it.

I had a hunch the End command would be the cause.

Ask Schik about it; I believe historically we've allowed hold updates as long as they're fixing significant mechanical issues (not just to fix unintended solutions or typoes).
