//  no way to fail these puzzles.
// oObject : The object, usually the lever being used.
// bSoundHint : TRUE|FALSE
//  If TRUE, an audio cue is played if the PC is on the right track. NOTE: Sequence
//  puzzles without this clue will be EXTREMELY hard if no clues are provided in
//  other ways. This does nothing in Binary Puzzles as there can be multiple
//  'correct' solutions.

//  after the lever is pulled.
// fDelay : How much time in seconds passes before the door closes after opening.
// sID : If you are going to have more then one maze in one area, you'll need
//  a unique sID to differentiate them.
// sFailScript : Use this to execute a script (OBJECT_SELF is oObject) that happens
//  when the timer runs out and the door closes again.
// oObject : The object, usually the lever being used.
// bSoundHint : TRUE|FALSE
//  If TRUE, an audio cue is played as the door closes to let the PC know that
//  time is up.

// Randomly makes a new sequence for Sequence Door Puzzles, sets the sequence to
// 0 (all doors will close) for Binary puzzles. It is a good idea to reset
// a binary puzzle if players log out or die and respawn out of the puzzle so
// there's no chance of making it un-enterable.

Description

Are you tired of the same old dungeons? Monsters, chests, and no variety? As a builder, do you want to make other forms of challenges but just don't have the scripting know-how to get it accomplished? Well, it's your lucky day!

The PLS scriptset adds three dynamic types of puzzles that involve levers and doors which can be combined to make a rich variety of puzzles to decorate your dungeons and castles with. The three types are:

Labrynth-like Mazes where pulling levers cause some doors to open but others to close.

Sequence-set Doors that only open if you can duplicate the Sequence using levers. The sequence can be randomly-generated to always keep the crowd guessing.

Time delay Doors that will keep your players on their toes!

Newbie-friendly tutorials make all of these mazes available to any class of builder and the system is open enough to allow other scripters to take their puzzles to new levels by coding in things like traps going off on failure, monster spawns, and more.

Does what it says on the tin. Brightens up a dull dungeon.

Wow, although I haven't seen this in action, these all sound like wonderful ideas. Thanks for sharing!
