Sorry for all the hassle; I wasn't super thrilled to be making these code changes, and rushed thru it...
I loaded it up on my server, got a buddies account logged in to test with, and got everything working.
I am going to remove the previous versions from my posts, I don't want broken code out there.
Enjoy.
Code:
// SANDMAN! - from Marvel Comics, possesses the ability to convert all or part of his body into a sand-like substance by mental command.
/* CVARS - copy and paste to shconfig.cfg
//Sandman
sandman_level 9
sandman_cooldown 20 //Seconds before you can use quicksand again (Default 20)
sandman_duration 5 //How long quicksand lasts
sandman_affected 30 //Seconds before the target can be affected by quicksand again
