ZDoom

Fixed in [rev]4152[/rev].

That'd actually work as a simple workaround, and now I feel silly for not thinking of that. It's still a bug, though -- if you'll notice, the player never triggers the script, yet monsters do. Inconsistencies like that aren't on purpose. :P

Given that the ZDCMP2 lava script already has an exception for Grells, it'll trivial to extend the protection to the boss gits.

That looks like a possible cause, indeed. Thanks for the pinpoint.

It is probably a consequence of [url=http://zdoom.org/Changelog/3951/files]this[/url].

I can confirm that it's broken in GZDoom r1469, based off ZDoom r3963

Xaser said it was broken in GZDoom 1.7.00, so the bug was introduced somewhere between r3794 and r4002

What's 'latest'. If this hangs around for longer, it won't be easy to tell so please add a real revision number.

So, apparently, in the latest SVNs + latest official GZDoom, the bosses in [url=http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=35269]ZDCMP2[/url] get instakilled as soon as the fight starts. What's happening is that the arena is a big 3D floor over lava, and there's an "Actor Hits Floor" thing on the lava below that's meant to kill players and monsters that step on it. At some point, though, there was a change that ended up causing monsters (but not players) to trigger "Actor Hits Floor" when stepping on the floor of a 3D sector on top of it, which is not desired. Hence the bosses get insta-burned once trying to move. D:

To test quickly, start the map and puke script 888. This will place you right outside the boss arena; cross the bridge, start the match, and watch as they die immediately after stepping down onto the ring with the glass.
