Hello!
I've encountered this bug while experimenting with teleportgroup action.
The problem is: when group of monsters gets teleported from source (unconnected to destination) sector they are aware (alerted) of player if player shot in this sector before using teleportgroup; even if there is no line of sight.
In version 4.6 it works as intended, in versions 4.7 and 4.8 this bug repeats.
Also, maybe you are aware of bug, that if teleport fog is true then actor angle keeps resetting to 0, but if fog is false then actor angle is unchanged.
So, i've made my own acs script (inside the wad) that uses SetActorPosition, instead of TeleportGroup, fog-angle problem is gone, but they keep teleporting awake if you shot in destination sector.
Replaces udm format

Re: TeleportGroup bug
Works fine for me. Have you by any chance changed the compatibility preset to something more 'classic'?
Re: TeleportGroup bug
Just deleted the *.ini file and now it works. And i feel dumb now...
But i can swear there was an issue i discribed, i wouldn't waste my whole day making new script, searching for the problem, reading wiki, before posting here. And comp option was "default".
Sorry for false alarm then, i guess.

Re: TeleportGroup bug
Works for me too. I start a game, fire my pistol, walk into the square, the imps appear and just stand facing the corners until I do something that will wake them up (e.g. fire again).

Re: TeleportGroup bug
Considering that deleting the INI helped I am fairly certain it was the monster alert compatibility option that caused it.
In original Doom monsters alert sectors, not actors. and if a monster is in an alerted sector it'll wake up. And sectors never lose their alert status.
