Ancient Gates

Table of Contents

Introduction

This plugin can allow those with permission, to create gates. These gates will teleport any player, entity (incl. passenger) or vehicle (incl. passenger) that enters that gate to the designated location and/or execute a command. This is a very easy to use, easy to maintain transportation plugin! As a bonus, the gates can look any way you like (vertical or horizontal), with a selection of portal materials.

To get started, try the in game command: /gate

I'll have a look into this for you and see how feasible it is.

@Strelet12

The very short history is that Olof Larsson created a plugin called AncientGates. There were lots of people that picked it up and loved it. He then moved all his efforts towards the MassiveCraft server and created a new plugin for it, called CreativeGates. This plugin worked differently in that it allowed normal players to create gates without commands and it used water instead. He told all the users of AncientGates to use CreativeGates instead, but unfortunately not everyone liked the concept.

CreativeGates went on being developed by Olof and AncientGates went through several different maintainers until I picked it up beginning of the year (having used it myself for two years). A lot of the base code is shared between AncientGates and CreativeGates, though the very latest versions of CreativeGates have chnaged drastically and now rely on MassiveCraft's MCore plugin.

This plugin is similar to the old CreativeGates in that you can create flowing water gates, but dissimilar in that it is all command-based.

Yes, I stupidly tested it all with socket comms enabled and forgot to test the basic bungee methods. Was having a code re-haul.

Hey, I was just wondering, there was this veeeeeeery old (3.5 years old to be more specific) plugin for Bukkit called "Creative Gates", it allowed you to make some gates, you used diamonds for it and then you put water on the bottom part of the diamond block, a "water flow" effect would appear and it worked as a portal.

So, is this very similar to Creative Gates?

Hey peewi96,

I now have all of my servers setup with Bungee portals, working no problem.

But I do have an issue that I'm hoping you can help me out with.

I've written a BungeeCord plugin that announces to all Staff when a player connects, and which server they have connected to.

The issue that I have though, is that when I restart a server, and players attempt to enter the portal to that server, I get spammed on the connect messages as they just stand in the portal.

So is it possible for you to check if the destination server is online prior to attempting to connect them to it?

Bungee setup is not hard. You just set "bungeeCordSupport" to true in the config (conf.json).

That's it!

Try the latest development build if you're having issues. I acidentally broke basic bungeeCord support in version 1.7.1

Yes the bungee setup is hard. This way they can do /server [name]

No it won't. When you join the other server again you will be facing the opposite way, one block back from the gate =).

If I set a server type bungee portal in one server (say going from B -> A) and a server type bungee portal on A (going to B), will this cause an infinite loop since players are going through A's portal into B to where they exited to go to A? If so, is there a way to prevent this so that every time players go through portals they go to their last location that's not a portal and isn't really next to the portal? Since there can't really be portals all over the map for my server...

Ok, I shall have a look into this.

UPDATE: I'm not able to replicate this. Disallowing entities through the gate with the command "/gate setentities [id] false", prevents items from passing through the gates in my tests.

When using the "/gate info" command, is entities definitely set to "not allowed"?

Uhmm... This should not be an issue, but just in case. Are you using Java 6 or Java 7?

@BiweGas

Glad you have it working :D

@TMtheBest

I recommend you have a look at this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SfWJ1Q5xd8&feature=youtu.be

@ccattell

Items are classed as entities and should be controlled by the "/gate setentities" command. If you wish to disallow entities by default, then set "teleportEntitiesDefault" to false in the config (conf.json). Note this will not affect existing gates, only new gates.
