Referenced by teleport commands, event entry points, respawn targets, and client-side doors. ## File Location ``` Data/Move/Gate.txt ``` Loaded once at GameServer startup. Changes require a restart. ## Format Plain text, whitespace-delimited. The first non-comment line is the column header; each subsequent line is one gate entry. The file ends at the first `end` token or EOF. ``` //Index Flag Map X Y TX TY TargetGate TargetDir MinLevel MaxLevel MinReset MaxReset AccountLevel 1 1 0 121 232 123 233 2 0 20 400 * * 0 ``` ## Columns | Column | Type | Effect | | ----------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Index` | int | Unique gate ID. Referenced by other gates, Move.txt, event entries, and `DeathGate` in MapManager.xml | | `Flag` | 0, 1, or 2 | `0` = zone marker (not teleport-capable by itself, used as a named location), `1` = entry gate (player walks onto the trigger tile), `2` = exit gate (teleport destination) | | `Map` | int | Map index this gate lives on | | `X`, `Y` | int | For `Flag=2` / `Flag=0`: lower corner of the destination rectangle. For `Flag=1`: declared but not used to detect the trigger | | `TX`, `TY` | int | For `Flag=2` / `Flag=0`: upper corner of the destination rectangle. For `Flag=1`: center of the trigger zone; the player triggers the gate whenever they stand within +/-5 tiles of `(TX, TY)` on the correct map | | `TargetGate` | int | For `Flag=1`, the `Index` of the paired exit gate. `0` for `Flag=2` / `Flag=0` rows | | `TargetDir` | 0-7 | Facing direction applied on arrival | | `MinLevel` | int | Minimum character level to use. `-1` (written as `*`) disables the check | | `MaxLevel` | int | Maximum character level. Shipped data commonly uses `400` as effectively unlimited. `-1` / `*` disables | | `MinReset` / `MaxReset` | int or `*` | Reset count range. `*` stores as `-1` and disables that side of the check | | `AccountLevel` | 0-3 | Minimum account tier required (`0` = free accounts allowed) | ## Trigger vs Destination Rectangles The engine treats entry and exit rows differently: * **Entry (`Flag=1`)**: player is considered inside the gate when their position is within a 10-tile square centered on `(TX, TY)` on the gate's map. The `X` / `Y` columns are loaded but do not participate in trigger detection. * **Exit (`Flag=2`) / zone (`Flag=0`)**: on arrival, the engine picks a random walkable tile inside the rectangle spanning `(X, Y)` to `(TX, TY)` and places the player there, facing `TargetDir`. If every tile in the rectangle blocks movement, the teleport fails. When an entry gate fires, the engine looks up `TargetGate`, reads that row's destination rectangle, and uses its `TargetDir` for the final facing. A non-zero `TargetGate` on a `Flag=2` row is ignored. ## Class-Scaled Level Gate `MinLevel` is not applied raw for every class. For Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord, and Rage Fighter, the effective minimum becomes `floor(MinLevel * 2 / 3)` on every map except Swamp of Calmness. This matches the standard MU character-progression rule and applies equally to Move.txt entries whose destination resolves to those maps. ## Examples {% tabs %} {% tab title="Town-to-Dungeon pair" %} {% code title="Gate.txt fragment" %} ``` //Index Flag Map X Y TX TY TargetGate TargetDir MinLevel MaxLevel MinReset MaxReset AccountLevel 1 1 0 121 232 123 233 2 0 20 400 * * 0 2 2 1 107 247 110 247 0 1 20 400 * * 0 ``` {% endcode %} Gate 1 on Lorencia (map 0) is triggered whenever the player stands within 5 tiles of `(123, 233)`. It warps them to a random tile inside the rectangle `(107, 247)` to `(110, 247)` on Dungeon (map 1), facing direction 1. Requires level 20+. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Respawn target" %} {% code title="Gate.txt fragment" %} ``` 17 0 0 133 118 151 135 0 0 0 400 * * 0 ``` {% endcode %} Gate 17 (`Flag=0`) is a zone marker on Lorencia. It is used as the `DeathGate` destination rectangle in MapManager.xml: the engine picks a random walkable tile inside `(133, 118)` to `(151, 135)`. No entry trigger is installed. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Level-locked portal" %} {% code title="Gate.txt fragment" %} ``` 38 1 4 131 15 132 18 39 0 50 400 * * 0 ``` {% endcode %} Gate 38 on Lost Tower (map 4) requires level 50+ to use. MG/DL/RF players pass the check at level 34+ because of the class-scaled modifier. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## Cross-File Dependencies | Attribute | Related in | | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Map` | [MapManager.xml](/docs/data/mapmanager.md) | | `Index` | Referenced by [Move.txt](/docs/data/gate/move.md) (teleport command destinations), [MapManager.xml](/docs/data/mapmanager.md) (`DeathGate`), event entry configs under [Event/](/docs/data/event.md) | | Level / reset / account gates | Overlap with command-level gates in [Command.xml](/docs/data/command-xml.md) / [Command.dat](/docs/gameserver/command-dat.md) | | Class-scaled `MinLevel` exception | Swamp of Calmness map index, see [MapManager.xml](/docs/data/mapmanager.md) | ## Common Issues * **Entry gate never fires** - trigger zone is measured around `(TX, TY)`, not `(X, Y)`; check that column. * **`Flag=0` row used as entry** - zone markers do not teleport; set `Flag=1` with a valid `TargetGate`. * **Teleport drops player into a wall** - every tile in the destination rectangle fails the walkability check; widen `(X, Y)` to `(TX, TY)` until at least one walkable tile is inside. * **Cannot reach a map** - all entry gates to that map have higher `MinLevel` than any reachable character. Remember the MG/DL/RF two-thirds modifier off Swamp of Calmness. * **Gate disappears after GS restart** - duplicate `Index`. The file is loaded into a map keyed by index, so a later duplicate overwrites the earlier one. * **Reset gate looks disabled but still blocks** - wildcard must be the literal `*`; any other string is parsed as `0` and blocks resets below 0 vacuously but never above 0.
