obj
    Door
        icon = 'turfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "closed"
        density = 1
        Bump(atom/obstacle)
            if(usr.Trooper == 1)
                src.density = 0
                src.icon_state = "open"
                usr.loc=locate(src.x,src.y,src.z)
                sleep(25)
                src.density = 1
                src.icon_state = "closed"
            else
                ...

The problem is that you're thinking Bump() does the opposite of what it does. The Bump() proc is called when the object bumps into something! I don't think your door is going to be out bumping into a whole lot, if it's like most doors. What you should do is make a Bumped() proc. I've written how to do that quite a few times recently, try searching Newbie Central for Bumped().

You know, Bumped() is used often enough that I think it should be integrated directly into the language.

Think about it. If you wanted to make a bumped proc for everything, it would be an atom proc. Then, under the mob, you would want it to call whatever it bumped bumped() proc. Its basically common sense.

I have little idea of how to arrange that and how to make it please give an e.g. but is this it?
    proc
        Bumped(atom/obstacle)

obj
    Door
        icon = 'turfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "closed"
        density = 1
        Bumped()
            if(usr.Trooper == 1)
                src.density = 0
                src.icon_state = "open"
                usr.loc=locate(src.x,src.y,src.z)
                sleep(25)
                src.density = 1
                src.icon_state = "closed"
            else
                ...

"usr" is a really bad reference to use in this situation, first of all. You'll probably want to use a reference to whatever activated the Bumped() proc, or in other words, whatever it was that bumped the turf.

atom/movable/Bump(atom/O)
   ..()
   O.Bumped(src)
Notice that the Bumped() part contains "src" inside the ()'s. That tells it that src is the atom that bumped it.
Now use that in your proc.

obj/door
   icon..
   icon_state...
   density = 1
   Bumped(mob/M) // notice refering to the mob that bumped it
      if(ismob(M)) // make sure it's a mob
         if(M.Trooper)
            src.density = 0
            src.icon_state = "open"
            M.loc = src.loc
            sleep(25)
            src.density = 1
            src.icon_state = "closed"
         else
            ..()
The ismob() check is to make sure that you're working with a mob here, since the Bumped() proc allows any type of atom. If it isn't a mob, it will just ignore this stuff, instead of giving invalid variable errors and such.

Bumping isn't really necessary unless the post has floated off the page or been forgotten long enough that no one will respond to it. If you bump it up just because it's not at the top of the page, it's more annoying than anything, and won't help you get any more attention - in fact, it's more likely to make people not help you because you're being annoying.
