			==SE5 - Boss Sector==

			This is an unused SE that was planned in (and implemented) as a sector-based boss in the beta version of the game, [http://www.3drealms.com/duke3d/lameduke.html LameDuke]. It still exists in the game and can be used to create a variety of effects.

			Any sectors with the SE5 on them will start following the player along any locators ([[Tilenum]] #6) in the level. You can have multiple ones in the level (also using the same locators), they don't need any tags and will act as their own entities regardless.

			For smoother movement, use multiple locators, each with their own unique lotag. They disregard any hitags the locators have.

			They cannot carry sprites and act the same way as subways and two-way trains do; they can only carry a single level of child-sectors. There's no limit for child sectors as long as their parent sector is the one with the SE sprite. They can, however, carry effects that apply directly to sectors, such as teleporters (SE7).
