Ouch. Why not say thanks for the help he attempted to offer? It should at least give you an idea.

I could sit here and write code you want, but from that attitude I don't think I'll waste my time.

mob
    var
        ShutDown = 0


mob
    Admin
        verb
            ShutDown()
                set category = "Admin"
                if(usr.ShutDown==0)
                    switch(alert("Are you sure?","Shut Down","Yes","No"))
                        if("Yes")
                            world << "<center><b>WORLD IS SHUTTING DOWN IN 5 SECONDS..."
                            ShutDown = 1
                            sleep(50)
                            del(world)
                if(usr.ShutDown==1)
                    ShutDown = 0
                    world << "Shut down has been cancelled"
                    return

Well this kind of works. The only problem is i dont know how to make it stop the shutdown. Even though it says it stops it it doesnt. That part youll have to figure out yourself. It makes it so its placed under the Admin category and to make it so only certain people can use it you would put in:
mob
    Login()
        if(usr.key=="Crasianboy")//Replace my key with yours
            usr.verbs += typesof(/mob/Admin/verb/)

Well thank you.. But can you add a custom amount of time in it. Like ()Seconds.. you can choose how long it takes to shut down... and if you can remove the cancel part if it doesn't work.. Thanks for trying :)

Argh, that's somewhat horribl...

Tips for learning:

- Instead of specifically looking for 1 or 0, use the boolean method which you can learn about here

- After learning about boolean, you can join all those variables in to one, when you cancel something, set the value to a negative value and speficially check for it if it is cancelled.

BTW, std2 is useless, you can get the same effect by doing either sleep(std*10) or std*=10 as you don't need to use std after that one simple message.
