hello... I have a door, and I have a verb: Open Door

Should the door be a turf or an object, mob?

If I'm right next to the door, then I want it to open when I use the verb. How can this be done also? Thanks

Your best bet is to go with object.

obj/door/verb/Open_Door()
    set src in oview(1)
    //Door coding here.

obj/Door
icon = 'Blah.dmi'
Exited()
src.icon_state = "Closed"
src.density = 1
tell if this works

not really, now the player just walks over it. The player needs to open it using the open verb and then be able to walk through. After the player walks through the door needs to shut. Thanks for the help so far

I don't think there is an easy way to do that using objects as doors. The best I can see that isn't too complicated would be;
obj/door
    density = 1
    verb/Open_door()
        set src in oview(1)
        src.invisibility = 1
        src.density = 0
        sleep(20)
        src.invisibility = 0
        src.density = 1


Which opens the door for 2 seconds, and then closes it. If you make the door a turf, you can do what buzzyboy suggested.
