Creating Schematics

If you are familiar with worldedit, Gateways schematics are created in the same way. The tool for selecting a schematic's bounding box is the ender pearl. Choose two points using right and left click with the ender pearl in hand to select the corners of the box that surrounds your schematic. Then you can use the copy command to copy that schematic. Make sure to be standing inside the gate frame itself and facing in the direction that gate is pointing when you copy it. Gateways will use that information to know the direction the gate is supposed to face and where the gate's "seed" is.

Gateways schematics include everything in the copied area except for air blocks. This means that you can paste a complex gate into an area and only the frame itself will be copied. Blocks intersecting the bounding box will not be destroyed unless they interfere with a solid block in your schematic.

All gateways schematics are saved as .gate files inside the directory /plugins/Gateways/schematics.

Using Schematics

You can also use Gateways schematics to force uniformity across gates in your server by using the configuration options "force_schematic" and "copy_schematic". Both of these refer to whatever schematic file's name is written into the "gate_schematic" config option. Forcing the schematic will prevent gates from working unless they exactly match the gate schematic (again, sans air blocks). Copy schematic will copy the gate schematic to the player's position when they create a gate.

The "gate_schematic" setting can also be used to determine what materials a gate costs to make. Simply type in "- schematic" to the list of materials in config, and Gateways will scan the schematic for all non air blocks and add them to the requirements.
