CIT fix
I cannot enter a building, buy armor or use /eventwarp right after a fight
Right after you are hurt or fire a weapon, CIT blocks some actions for a few seconds. Find your action below and wait that long.
Steps
Interiors: wait 10 seconds
You cannot enter interiors for 10 seconds after being hurt. Wait, then try the entrance again.

Health and armor: wait 5 seconds
You cannot buy health or armor if you were attacked in the last 5 seconds. Buying food is not part of this rule.

/eventwarp: wait 10 seconds

DM area: 3 seconds without damage
