Faylevator Lifts

Just verify the open/close state on the lifts, and force them the other direction on a click. We already do that for doors that have multiple parts -- but I'm thinking getting the structure proper is far more elegant.

Before someone wastes their time trying to use player.pl to force the doors open and closed they will need to fix the doors code.

void Doors::ForceOpen(Mob *sender)
{
    EQApplicationPacket* outapp = new EQApplicationPacket(OP_MoveDoor, sizeof(MoveDoor_Struct));
	MoveDoor_Struct* md=(MoveDoor_Struct*)outapp->pBuffer;
	md->doorid = door_id;
	md->action = OPEN_DOOR;
	entity_list.QueueClients(sender,outapp,false);
	safe_delete(outapp);

    if(!isopen) {
        close_timer.Start();
        isopen=true;
    }
    else {
        close_timer.Disable();
        isopen=false;
    }
}

void Doors::ForceClose(Mob *sender)
{
    EQApplicationPacket* outapp = new EQApplicationPacket(OP_MoveDoor, sizeof(MoveDoor_Struct));
	MoveDoor_Struct* md=(MoveDoor_Struct*)outapp->pBuffer;
	md->doorid = door_id;
	md->action = OPEN_DOOR;
	entity_list.QueueClients(sender,outapp,false);
	safe_delete(outapp);

    if(!isopen) {
        close_timer.Start();
        isopen=true;
    }
    else {
        close_timer.Disable();
        isopen=false;
    }
}

Doors::ForceClose() and Doors::ForceOpen() should not be identical. A fix was suggested for that particular problem but I never tested it on the lifts in greater faydark as I was working with another set of lifts at the time.

ForceOpen may be used by NPC's on pathing - however, ForceClose is only used by quest files. These are not related to what we are addressing here.
