  | no_pass | if set, you can only pass through that space if you be allowed to (depending on last_sp determines if having/not having is the match criteria). If no_pass is 0 (default), then the inventory only acts as a trigger/button |
  
  General usage notes:  Putting a check_inventory space in front of a gate with another on the other side works reasonably well as a control mechanism.  Note, however, that other people may still be able to slip by.  To get around this, use the no_pass to 1, and put it in the space you want to control (probably makes sense to put a fake door or other object there to make it a little more obvious what is going on.)

- This object samples the square its in, and if it finds an object
- named in the slaying field, it toggles its connected value.  Detectors are a
- lot like pedestals - the only really difference is that they sample the
- space periodically, where as pedestals will get triggered the instant
- something is dropped.  The use for pedestals is to add some indeterminate
- time delay (indeterminate since you can never be sure at what point in its
- timing the player will actually drop something on the detector.)  Personally,
- I don't see much if any use for detectors.  (The author of this last sentence
- didn't realize that if you blow a spell over a detector, it may be detected,
- but a pedestal won't notice it.)
