No idea how to code or program... But as for ideas?
Have a portal that spawns enemies, the portal can't be destroyed so the players will need to look at some other way to close it.
Those classic puzzles where there's a bunch of unbreakable but movable obstacles in your way, they need to be moved to certain places before the path is clear. Like the pokemon gym where you have to use the Strength HM to move the boulders.
Other classic puzzles where the door won't open until a pressure plate is set off. Probably by having someone stand on it if that can be coded. It'd make it so doing the mission solo (which I've seen some Captains do for some reason, always requiring a rescue mission to go after them) would be impossible.
Riddles. I've HEARD that there were like... audio detectors or something like that in other servers that you could rig a bomb to, and it'd explode when a certain codeword was said. Have the riddle in a place where the players could find it, the door won't open unless the answer is said.
I also think a few 'traps' would be neat. Like the trash compactor scene from Star Wars. Have the walls SLOWLY come together, so maybe if the victim is quick-minded, they may be able to get out. Maybe. There might not even be a way out sometimes.
No idea how this would be done, but what about puzzles where the floor falls away once you step off of it? They'd reappear once someone reaches the end, but it'd mean the rest of the team would have to watch helplessly and just hope their buddy makes it. If they 'fall', then they probably just get kersploded or something.
Have a door that won't open unless a certain key, probably found by rummaging through old boxes and rubble, is used on it.
Also, 'trapped' tiles. These tiles will look just a LITTLE different from all the others. Easy enough to miss if you're just running through it, but still easy enough to spot. You would be able to disarm it fairly easily, but if it's triggered, it could be anything from darts, spikes, a rigged shotgun, or possibly even an IED. Or maybe just a flashbang, perhaps to act as an alarm to alert the people already there that there are intruders?
