Linked Gates
by Lokai

What is it?

It's a bag that contains 2 Moongates. Each Moongate is 'Mated' to the other. Where ever you put them, each one will send you to the other without regard to the "target" settings.

How do you use it?

[add LinkedGateBag
The Gates come with the name "Alpha" by default. You can change the name to reflect the destination if you wish, or make the names match so you know which Gate is married to the other.
"[m set name Beta" for example, then click both Gates.

Installation?

Drop in and restart server.

Troubles?

It's brand new, so there might be issues I have not thought of. Please post here with any problems.

Thanks!

I am reserving this post in case I make a change log, updates, etc.

Cool release

[Protius73]

Thanks man saves me the trouble of writing them lol. I used them extensively on my old shard.

Good Job!

Try as I might, I can't figure out how to get one of the gates to appear differently. I'd like one of them to appear as a house teleporter.

What I tried was copying the folder that contained the 2 scripts to another folder and attempted to replace some occurrences of the word "linked" with the word "house" as well as set the ItemID of the house teleporter.
I was hoping to to end up with 2 bags. One with matching moongates and one with a moongate linked to a house teleporter that I could place anywhere. What I got was the error below:

Errors:
 + Custom/House Gates/HouseGateBag.cs:
    CS0029: Line 26: Cannot implicitly convert type 'Server.Lokai.LinkedGate' to
 'Server.Lokai.HouseGate'

I also got the same error in reference to "Custom/House Gates/HouseGate.cs" about every other time I tried to compile.


Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds interesting. Post it, so I can have a look?

This, from what I understand, would also require LinkedGate.cs from the first post. Keep in mind I have no idea what I'm doing.

Convinced I have no clue what I'm doing yet? lol
tia for any input. 8)

This one is wrong, for obvious reasons. One type cannot be another:

HouseGate gateB = new LinkedGate();

I think if you change that to be HouseGate instead, you might be closer to having this thing done. Let me know.

[Thadeus]

As you can see I have no idea what I'm doing.
I just assumed I would have to use HouseGate() and LinkedGate() because I want one of each in the bag.
My understanding was that HouseGate() was a moongate that looks like a house teleporter and LinkedGate was a regular moongate.

If I change them both to HouseGate... won't I end up with a bag that contains 2 house teleporters? Or am I way off?

[Lokai]

I didn't have time before to really put much thought into what you were trying to do. Here, I put these together, I think it's what you were looking for.

[Thadeus]

Wow, thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.
I see now that the LinkedGate.cs and HouseGate.cs had to reference the mate function of each other. Still no clue how, but I suppose I learned a little.

thanks a lot. 8)

[oiii88]

Lokia is there any way to adjust the delay from going from 1 gate to the other?
IE: Gate 1 you walk in and instant teleport but Gate 2 you walk in and just stand there for a few seconds before being teleported..

[Alex21]

You've given me an awesome idea!

[Shakhan]

I would like to place these out in the world however they are set to decay.. I tried changing this setting but it says that that attribute is read-only. How do I get around this?

[oiii88]

Tried [set movable false ?

[Jedi Faggus]

thanks had no problems with script

[xxviperh202xx]

Keeps saying invalid or corrupted

[xxviperh202xx]

Here ya go

[Tugboat]

TY, I have already place about 50 gates

[beebee]

thanks for this release its really cool save the trouble of rewriting scripts which i know nothing of ....but thanx this is awsome...

[sk8danger]

what directory, wich is what part of the runuo folder i paste the gate link files ?

[homergz]

The best place to install custom scripts is in your Customs folder. If you have not created one simply make a new folder in your Scripts directory and rename it to Customs.

Typically when a script release says "drop in", it means there are no distro edits and you place the script(s) in your Customs folder.
