Fixed.

Instant movers automatically set their internal speed. But what's the point of them if you have to use other specials to make them work properly? I think the 3 missing '=' chars should be added.

Make the instant movers have a very high speed (32768), so they always go past in one tic.

Forever. It's in the original source. Apparently Randy fixed one of four cases for some previous problem but didn't adjust the others as well.

It's really only a problem with instant movers that need to finish in one tic.

how long has this been a problem? I recall a sequence in foreverhood which used floorlowerinstant, which wouldn't always trigger right away. Good to know it wan't me abusing the feature.

Ceiling/Floor_Raise/LowerInstant often need 2 tics to complete instead of one.

Except for a floor moving down all other movement types only check whether the target height has been passed, not reached so that a movement to the exact target height doesn't stop the mover. For Instant movers this can create problems because they lock the sector longer than necessary.
