Adding /stuck command for alpha/beta

[gimmic]

Recently in MP a buddy and I both jumped through a window and ended up stuck inside a kitchen counter. 

 

I see rumblings of this type of issue from other players, and have yet to find a solution. I'd hate for us both to throw away our survivor's lives due to a geometry error!

 

Perhaps a temporary solution would be to provide a /stuck command which could count down for 30 seconds/1 minute until activating, and then either move the character a few paces in a random direction or reset them to a default/random spawnpoint.

 

This is obviously unrealistic, but so is getting stuck in a kitchen counter. I think if set up with the proper time penalties it would be unlikely to be abused.

 

On a side note, anyone have an idea on how to move a stuck character without killing them?

I got stuck a few times. What I did was quit, and then when I reloaded the game, my character was outside the house. Worked for me a couple times. Give it a try and let me know!!

 

I haven't researched this issue at all, so I'm not sure of a better way. I just know that my method worked for me.

Have you tried holding E to climb back out the window? Should work. I have never been unable to climb back out.

[Kajin]

Same. I jump in through windows sometimes and find myself stuck inside a kitchen counter. When that happens I just turn around and climb back out the window. Having an /unstuck feature wouldn't be too bad an idea, though.

Hold the right mouse button, swivel around, and exit the window.

[speckle77]

I've tried exiting the window again, even after swiveling around. Didn't work for me =(

[EnigmaGrey]

Have you tried right clicking on the window and/or right clicking outside and selecting "go to?"

I've never had it be permanent for me, before. =/

Is this MP?

[gimmic]

This is in multiplayer and I have been unable to sneak back out through the window.

 

I can add/remove the drapes, close the window. When I choose "climb through" my character just walks in place forever.

 

I have reloaded multiple times. Two of us are stuck in the same spot(we jumped through a window together).  This is in one of the houses near the MP Default spawn point.

 

I *THINK* it is this house:

Just to double check because I haven't seen you confirm it- while facing the window and the window open, holding down the "e" key on your keyboard doesn't sort it?

[gimmic]

Im not sure I attempted to use E honestly. I can't remember. I will check here in an hour.

 

Is holding E functionally different from right clicking and doing 'climb through window'? Is there a functional code/action difference?

 

I would expect they're both mapped to the same action/code. 

[EasyPickins]

It is a bit flaky apparently.  Holding E does work, but the menu command doesn't.

 

The difference is there is a "walk to" action before the "climb through window" action with the menu command, but with the E key there is only "climb through window".

 

EDIT: I fixed this one command for the next release.

[gimmic]

SIGH. This worked! Two of us banging around for solutions for two hours and simply holding E worked!

Thanks!

Haha, In my excited state I quoted the wrong response. Thank you, anyway. Because of you we're now back to more Zomboid where as before we were gonna wait for build 25 to drop.
