User blog:Kevsuc/Magnet Jelly "stops" Pet's ability? It's not always true.

Many of you have heard about common myths about Magnet Jelly. When the cookie earns Magnet Jelly, your pet will move forward and takes every jellies with their temporary magnet for 5 seconds. But, some people believes that Magnet Jelly will make your pet's effect appear longer because the pet's special power have been turned off during the magnetic effect.

After intensive testing, I've finally found that this myth is NOT ALWAYS true. Here's to explain:

You have "Foxy Bead" pet which produces Giant Blast Jelly for every 17 seconds. If you get the first jelly at 0:00:05 you will get again at 0:00:22, 0:00:39, and so on.

If you take the Magnet Jelly at 0:00:08, your pet will take all the jellies and "turned off" their role for 5 seconds until 0:00:13. Many would believe the pet's power will turned of for 5 seconds, however the pet still counts down for the next Giant Blast Jelly, and your pet will produce again at 0:00:22 (NOT 0:00:27). Just think of a gauge that charges up for your pet ability, that gauge never stops. When it is filled your pet will activate its ability only if it is not in the middle of doing something else like a magnetic jelly or a bonus time.

Example of the usefulness of this can be found in Coin Farming section: Explosive Gold Coin.

This would be a different case, if you take the Magnet Jelly at 0:00:20. Your pet still counts down and in 0:00:22 the pet will generate the jelly again, but because the pet's role has been overrid by Magnet Jelly, your pet must have to wait another 5 seconds until 0:00:25 when the magnet jelly effect is over, and after back in the position, the pet will instantly produce the Giant Blast Jelly at 0:00:25. In this case, it is true that Magnet Jelly will make the pet's effect appear longer.

What if, any pet with longer effect (such as Pirate's Bomb or Purple Candle) gets into effect and takes Magnet Jelly at the same time? As quoted by Lineidtheflyingdixon: it will get both effects activated ONLY when the pet's effect is activated first. For example, Purple Candle's effect is working from 0:00:10 to 0:00:15 and Magnet Jelly was taken at 0:00:12, the effect is still working intact, while at the same time the pet takes jellies from 0:00:12 to 0:00:17. But if the magnetic effect is activated first, you have to wait the magnetic effect to over before the pet's effect activates.
