Pred progress occasionally remains stuck

On rare occasions, predators may get stuck with permanent pred progress which no longer decreases over time. The predator progress ring only resets after they start eating a new prey.

This is due to the fact that prey sets its predator's swallow progress, basically copying their prey progress field to the predator's pred progress field. There are however circumstances in which this copying is canceled or skipped. When those circumstances occur, we make sure to set our predator's swallow progress to zero separately. Since this bug exists, it means we're forgetting to reset our pred's progress after we stop copying it.

Thank you SaltHog from Furaffinity for reporting your observation; The issue seemingly takes place when the prey is below the health / armor needed to be fully swallowed (100 armor by default) and is killed while being eaten, in which case the predator is left with an abandoned swallow progress value. I will attempt to replicate this when I get around to fixing this bug.

Should be fixed in 7c265c2e9dafa50147996d61bc423c8c9a0fc076 As the circumstances are obscure this is difficult to test, but I should have addressed all possibilities for the bug; If you still see it, please note me or reopen this issue.
