Monsters like lemmings are only supposed to show up in a room when it is in an uncleared state. They won't respawn upon reentering a cleared room.

However, if you clear a room and then take a scripted exit instead of a room edge, the lemmings will still be there when you reenter the room. They will not be active, and the room will still count as being cleared, but there will be motionless lemmings sitting around that you can stab with your sword if you want to.

I checked the entrance room for Lemming Beach, and this didn't happen. Maybe something went wrong when someone took them from the Custom Elements bonus pack?

Would you please provide a barebones example hold experiencing this issue?

My apologies, I thought this was an engine bug. It's a scripting issue.

Specifially, the lemmings in the room in question have the "Visible" checkbox switched on, when all lemmings should have it off.

Are we talking about a room in Entry Point? It's not in TSS, is it?

This issue came up with an Entry Point room. TSS should be fine.
