What causes the stage not to end after the certain boss is defeated?

[Bruce]

Based on the manual,

boss {bi}

• Optional.
• If set to 0, nothing. If set to 1, the character is a boss. When a boss appears, the music will change to the boss music (if it was defined).
Killing all the boss characters in a level will kill all other enemies and also end the stage automatically (even if there are still unspawned
entities)


I even made this very simple stage to test with the filestream files with only 1 boss in the level and set it as boss 1.
I defeated the boss and the level did not end. tried and tried, but still the same results

I am using 4.0+ build.
Can someone please explain what I am missing?
Thank you

Edited:
I just noticed that
the level ended when I switched the weapon after the boss is defeated:

void Switch_Weapon(int weaponNum)
{
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    changeentityproperty(self, "weapon", weaponNum);
}

This doesn't make any sense. I shouldn't have to do anything to end the level after the boss is defeated!

The only way I remember that may stuck the "end level" event after the boss is defeated is an enemy spawn.

I just removed everything and this is what I have in the level but still stuck:

I picked the dummy char then load the new model and switch to this new model and change the char name with

    void player = getplayerproperty(P_Index, "entity"); 
    changeplayerproperty(P_Index,"name", charName);
    changeentityproperty(player, "model", charName, 1);
    changeentityproperty(player, "name", charName);

Maybe this causes the level to be stuck?
It still doesn't make sense because it doesn't matter who defeats the boss as long as the boss's health gets to 0 and dies, the level should end regardless.

Try to gradually remove the character/level/script codes to see when the issue starts. This way you can isolate the cause and develop a fix for it.
I change model/name properties in the SORX constantly but never had this kind of issue.

If there is no other way, I'll have to do this to track it down, Thank you
