Cool!
Do you have a method for people to shoot down your airplanes? Do
players have any control over the flight?
BTW: What is it called when a forward observer asks for his artillery
to fire upon spot X? I've been looking for the term all over the place
and I can't seem to sift it out on a search engine either.

Not sure what you mean about the 'after 1 tick'. Do you want to open
the doors, then have them auto-close 1 minute after opening?
If I were to do that, I would create a system to allow it to function
in other areas.. something like so: (assuming a scripting
language is in use.)
Commands: DELAY xx <cmd> - Do something a while later.
SHUTDOORS [vnum] [direction]
You can get DELAY from the event code on the ftp site. I started
with that and have since added quite a few new event systems
to the code. They are very useful for all sorts of things. Some
examples might be: Movement/Blood Trails, better timed object
management, event based player saves, mob movement
zone resets and things like grenades and area affets.
Then when the mob gives them their ticket or whatever have it
put a reminder to itself to SHUTDOORS in 60 seconds.
Of course the obvious next step is OPENDOORS [vnum] [direction]
I may just do that.. might come in handy for a few things :-)
As to the actual opening/closing of the door, this ought to work.
(mailer-code that compiles for me.. haven't actually executed it)
int seal_door(int room_vnum, int direction) {
struct room_data *room, *other_side= NULL;
int rnum;
int bad_call=0;
if (room_vnum<0)
bad_call=1;
else {
rnum = real_room(room_vnum);
if (rnum == NOWHERE)
bad_call=1;
else
room = &world[rnum];
if (room && room->dir_option[direction])
if (!IS_SET(room->dir_option[direction]->exit_info, EX_ISDOOR))
bad_call=1;
else {
SET_BIT(room->dir_option[direction]->exit_info, EX_CLOSED);
if (room->dir_option[direction]->key >0)
SET_BIT(room->dir_option[direction]->exit_info, EX_LOCKED);
if (room->dir_option[direction]->to_room >0 ) {
other_side = &world[room->dir_option[direction]->to_room];
if (IS_SET(other_side->dir_option[direction]->exit_info,
EX_ISDOOR)) {
SET_BIT(room->dir_option[direction]->exit_info, EX_CLOSED);
if (other_side->dir_option[direction]->key >0)
SET_BIT(other_side->dir_option[direction]->exit_info,
EX_LOCKED);
}
}
}
}
if (!bad_call)
return 1;
return 0;
}

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never
expect it. - Jack Handey
