Terraria – Do monsters spawned from statues drop monster banners

terraria

I've been wondering if monsters spawned from statues drop the monster banners in the 1.2 update. If I can recall I remember farming a Slime Statue and I eventually got a slime banner, however I have tried it on the other statues yet I have had no success. Am I just unlucky or only certain monsters spawned from the statues can drop the monster banners?

I do not have first hand experience, but the wiki page indicates that you can get banners.

Terraria – How to keep Terraria NPCS from letting monsters in

This has also always bugged me in my first days of Terraria. NPC's are programmed to walk to the left and right, even if there are doors in the way.

What I always do is that I build the NPC building on top of my house, or floating 8 blocks above the ground, so that the mobs can't reach them. From there I connect my base to the NPC building using platforms. Or whatever kind of block you prefer.

Either way, you can't just tell the NPC's not to use doors, the only time that they don't use them is during the night.

Terraria – Can enemies from statues drop a hardmode dungeon key

Enemies spawned from statues cannot drop a dungeon key.

Below is the code that spawns the key drop as you kill an enemy in a biome (the only code that spawns a dungeon key in the game). As you can see, the chance is one in 4000. (On average, every 4000th enemy drops a key.)

I changed the random number to be a confirmed key drop instead, and built a contraption with statues to spawn enemies in an ice biome. I killed a few normally spawned enemies in the biome and all of them dropped a key. Then I spawned a few enemies from the statues and none of them dropped a key.

if (Main.hardMode && this.value > 0f)
{
    if (Main.rand.Next(4000) == 0 && Main.player[(int)Player.FindClosest(this.position, this.width, this.height)].zoneJungle)
    {
        Item.NewItem((int)this.position.X, (int)this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 1533, 1, false, 0, false);
    }
    if (Main.rand.Next(4000) == 0 && Main.player[(int)Player.FindClosest(this.position, this.width, this.height)].zoneEvil)
    {
        Item.NewItem((int)this.position.X, (int)this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 1534, 1, false, 0, false);
    }
    if (Main.rand.Next(4000) == 0 && Main.player[(int)Player.FindClosest(this.position, this.width, this.height)].zoneBlood)
    {
        Item.NewItem((int)this.position.X, (int)this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 1535, 1, false, 0, false);
    }
    if (Main.rand.Next(4000) == 0 && Main.player[(int)Player.FindClosest(this.position, this.width, this.height)].zoneHoly)
    {
        Item.NewItem((int)this.position.X, (int)this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 1536, 1, false, 0, false);
    }
    if (Main.rand.Next(4000) == 0 && Main.player[(int)Player.FindClosest(this.position, this.width, this.height)].zoneSnow)
    {
        Item.NewItem((int)this.position.X, (int)this.position.Y, this.width, this.height, 1537, 1, false, 0, false);
    }
