Multiple Shotguns off one Shotgun Guy?

sonicdoommario

I was playing through E2M5 of Ultimate Doom. I started out the map with no bullets and shells, and I didn't want to use my rockets and cells, so i decided to use a Chainsaw on the first few enemies of the game. I use a Chainsaw on the first Shotgun Guy and all of a sudden I go from 0 shells to about 40.

This is very weird, I was only able to replicate this once. There aren't many Shotgun Guys at the beginning of E2M5 (maybe 3 or 4), but I opened up the console and found that I picked up 10+ Shotguns at the beginning of the map (again, the only Shotgun(s) you can pick up are from the Shotgun Guys at the beginning of E2M5).

Here's a screenshot of what I saw in the console.



Very strange, I haven't been able to replicate it since.

Maybe it's a coincidence, but shortly after the game froze/crashed in the room where I was fighting Cacodemons and Barons of Hell.

Thanks.

You know, I had something similar happen one time as well in Ultimate Doom. I can't remember what map or build exactly, but a zombieman dropped like 30 clips. Every time I walked over the clip, I would pick up like 5. It gave me a lot of ammo. I haven't had it happen again after that.

This particular issue has been around for a long time I think (its present in 1.8.6 too), I've noticed it myself on rare occasion. Its so rare in fact that I've been unable to determine the cause because I cannot reproduce it reliably enough.

this is just me not having had this happen but could this happen when the engine thinks there is more then one mobj in the same spot?

Edit: i am working on a simple map that will help me test this bug to see if i can reproduce it.
