Lock types

Enter-locks an object, restricting who is allowed to enter it. Only objects which are ENTER_OK may be entered, regardless of the key.

The enter lock of a room is its Teleport Lock (see below).

Note that the enter lock of an object or room being used as a Zone Master Object determines control of that zone. Please note that if you're using a room as a ZMO (i.e. as a zone master room), only the controllers of that zone will be able to teleport into that room (which is a good thing for security).

Only people who pass the room's teleport lock, are wizards or royalty, or control the room, will be allowed to @teleport into the room. (Note that this is different from NO_TEL, which prevents people from teleporting out of a room). The teleport lock is evaluated even if the room is JUMP_OK - in other words, if you are trying to teleport into a room you don't control, the room must be JUMP_OK, and you must pass the teleport lock.

Sets the use-lock on an object, which restricts who may trigger the "@use" set of registers, and who may use the $commands on the objects. If the person who is trying to use the object or its special commands, cannot pass the lock, he is told, "Permission denied."
