Building a gate
Building a gate:
OO O O - These are Obsidian blocks. You need 10. O O - Place a sign on either of these two blocks of Obsidian. O O OO
Sign Layout:
- Line 1: Gate Name (Max 11 characters)
- Line 2: Destination Name [Optional] (Max 11 characters, used for fixed-gates only)
- Line 3: Network name [Optional] (Max 11 characters)
- Line 4: Options [Optional] :
'A' for always-on fixed gate
'H' for hidden networked gate
'P' for a private gate
'F' for a free gate
'B' is for a backwards facing gate (You will exit the back)
'S' is for showing an always-on gate in the network list
'N' is for hiding the network name
'R' is for random gates. These follow standard permissions of gates, but have a random exit location every time a player enters.
Options:
The options are the single letter, not the word. So to make a private hidden gate, your 4th line would be 'PH'.
Picture:
Using a gate:
- Right click the sign to choose a destination.
- Right click the button to open up a portal.
- Step through.
Fixed gates:
- Fixed gates go to only one set destination.
- Fixed gates can be linked to other fixed gates, or normal gates. A normal gate cannot open a portal to an always-open fixed gate however.
- To create a fixed gate, specify a destination on the second line of the stargate sign.
- Set the 4th line of the stargate sign to "A" to enable an always-open fixed gate.
Gate networks:
- Gates are all part of a network, by default this is "central".
- You can specify (and create) your own network on the third line of the sign when making a new gate.
- Gates on one network will not see gates on the second network, and vice versa.
- Gates on different worlds, but in the same network, will see eachother.
Hidden Gates:
- Hidden gates are like normal gates, but only show on the destination list of other gates under certain conditions.
- A hidden gate is only visible to the creator of the gate, or somebody with the stargate.hidden permission.
- Set the 4th line of the stargate sign to 'H' to make it a hidden gate.
Economy Support:
The latest version of Stargate has support for Economy. Gate creation, destruction and use can all have different costs associated with them.
There is a default cost defined in the Stargate config.yml, and you can define per-gate layout costs in the custom .gate files you create.
To define a certain cost to a gate just add these lines to your .gate file:
usecost=5
destroycost=5
createcost=5
toowner=true
