        A valid "what the fuck" issue, but I don't think anyone would ever try to resolve this one, multi-boss-rooms are not something people normally do in any situation...

        It's true but I thought that it was still weird... So I just thought that it would be the best for anyone to know at least...

        ok this is WILD i can't believe there's enough gamelogic to break in this hilarious way with your setup

        Well my idea was to make a bit more challenging on the map I'm making so I thought putting 2 bosses at the same room would be it but then..... this happened

        I'm not laughing at your map, I actively added code to allow multiple bosses in the same map for 2.2 to help creators like you - I'm laughing that hitting Fang with lasers turns the laser into Bowser

        It's always the Mario objects causing the bizarre surreal bugs... #214 (closed), anyone?

        As I just explained on Discord, this bug is caused by how the triple laser actually works in Eggman's pinch phase:

        		case 2:
			var2 = 3; // Fire middle laser
			A_Boss1Laser(actor);
			var2 = 0; // Fire left laser
			A_Boss1Laser(actor);
			var2 = 1; // Fire right laser
			A_Boss1Laser(actor);
			return;
			break;

        Because A_Boss1Laser calls P_RailThinker, it can collide with Fang and make Fang change state in the same tic, which results in the global variable var1 being different by the end of the A_Boss1Laser function. Since this action is called again twice after, the modified var1 from earlier carries over to them. This is how the many Bowsers spawn when you hit Fang.
