trig_time_block is a Extended Trigger Before Move trigger. It blocks a PC from going a given direction for the specified start and end times. May be combined with other trig_time_block triggers. If time falls outside of specified times, the exit may be used. Time wrapping is not supported, so specifying times that extend past midnight will not work as expected. The specified times are include the listed start and end hours. When using multiple trig_time_block triggers, any desired success message should only be specified for the last trig_time_block trigger, so that the correct message is displayed.

Usage:

Q <room vnum> <door direction> trig_time_block <start time (00-23)> <end time (00-23)> <success msg or -1> <fail msg or -1> -1

Field Description
Room vnum Room to apply the trigger to
Door direction The direction of the door to apply the trigger to
Number Direction
0 North
1 East
2 South
3 West
4 Up
5 Down
Start time The time to start denying access to specified exit, using a 24 hour clock. This number must be less than the end time
End time The time to start allowing access to specified exit, using a 24 hour clock. This number must be greater than the start time
Success string vnum -1 - No success message
#STRINGS vnum with success message
Fail string vnum -1 - No failure message
#STRINGS vnum with failure message
-1 Unused field (but the -1 must still be specified)

Example: 

Q 1200 1 trig_time_block 05 07 <success msg or -1> <fail msg or -1> -1
