Unstucking in real time
Is there a trick to getting monsters unstuck from each other via scripting? I have alot of Teleporters in my current mod, and they keep getting stuck on scenery or other monsters. I was wondering if there was a solution I could write in that allowed them to teleport away again if they couldn't move.

I'm not aware of any native function for this, but you may be able to roll your own by customizing their movement code. Immediately after the monster teleports, have it record its position in the map somehow, then try to A_Chase for a few tics, then compare its current position with the recorded position. If it's identical, the monster is stuck, so it should teleport again.
Disclaimer: I'm unaware of how exactly you can record an actor's position in the map; I imagine it'd require some use of ZScript and user vars.

Re: Unstucking in real time
Got it fixed. I used an A_CheckBlocking that looped back to the teleport mode if it turned solid and couldn't move. Cut the occurrence of the problem down to a fraction of them.
