If they do, then you're doing something wrong with your use of it in your own map. Upload the map and I'll take a look.

But, of course, you can spawn them from the console after the map starts.

Is there something I missed or is it working no longer?")* Well, in my opinion, that's a pretty serious oversight on the part of the designers, but kind of an understandable one. I think in order to fix this, the laser spawner should probably start with -ISMONSTER, then after it spawns, use A_ChangeFlag to set +ISMONSTER. This way, it won't be a "monster" at the start of the map, and won't be excluded if No Monsters is used; but, it will become a "monster" nearly immediately so as to gain access to A_KillChildren. I'll have to try an update to test this out.
