    Gate
    Created by Dark3nd Av3ng3r


    Map Description
    I have tried time and time again to build castle maps but none of them worked out due to one simple reason. No openable gate. So I designed my own variant. Once its open it won't close so it would work in a one bomb castle map since you have to defend the entrance. Note that this is not a castle just a wall with my gate built into it. The following are the instructions to build one yourself and downloading the map to see its workings would be just as helpful.

    Steps
    1: You need a single open or double open box. A wall made hallway will not work since the doors wont cover the entrance.
    2:place two barriers, as shown in the gate closed picture below, vertically.
    3:About 3-quarters of the way up the sides place one weapon holder on each, also illustrated below.
    4:place a weapon holder upside down a little ways away from the door to hold the gravlift switch.
    5:place the gravlift switch.(This may take a few attempts)
    6:place an angled weapon holder on top of the open box at about the middle. Don't forget to figure out wich way the gravlift will turn when you place the opener gravlift. Test it.
    7:place the gravlift opener. Don't worry when the barriers fall. The settings below will help make sure that everything spawns correctly.

    Below are the settings for the peices of the map. Don't forget to set them or your map will never work.

    Settings
    Gravlift Switch
    Respawn Rate-Never
    Place at Start-Yes
    Gravlift Door Opener
    Respawn Rate-180
    Place at Start-No
    Both Barriers(doors)
    Respawn Rate-Never
    Place at Start-Yes
    NOTE: Set Gravlift Run Time Minimum to 1 or else it won't work.

    At last the pictures.

    Looks good, I forget though, how long does it take for the barriers to go away after they're out of position, because they would really get in the way. Very original way of opening. Oh, but wouldn't the upper gravlift push people out as they tried to walk in, if it pushes the barriers I think it would push people.

    Its a kewl gate but after the switch part you might have to jump over the gate door things or barriers and also the barriers can be popped down or destroyed.

    I apologize for double posting but they normally dont get in the way. any vehicle besides a mongoose can drive over it and they take about 60 seconds to dissapear depending on how many people are near it

    You can view your rep by going to your user cp and it should show if you've gotten any rep

    You used the min item trick so when you destroy one the other spawns you can make it revert I did on a map using that technique make the grav lift spawn back in 10 seconds and make the top one spawn in 3 mins so if either 3 mins passes or you destroy the grav lift the door will open thats hwo it works.

    Sorry, this is off-topic, and I apologize that I don't know where to ask this, and since they got rid of the ShoutBox, alot of my quick questions don't get answered, but how do you view your rep?

    A nice idea, a switch that isnt using a powerup.
    But after this has happened does the above gravlift affect the player? Like after you open the gate, are you able to walk through the open box or does the grav lift deny you entrance?

    Nice. Me and my friend just went and tried it.
    He made me do it 'cus eh was confused lol.
    Anyway, it works just fine, and it's fine for those times when you can't spare too many items.

    Good job, even though it's simple.

    It looks okay, but not really practical for anything competitive (though most switches aren't). It might fit good in a zombie game, and doesn't take very many objects.

    good i dea, if this is like a drawbridge or something, look at the one in my signatur under switches, it is more complex and useful, but yours is good nonetheless. 5/5
