## FAQ

__Who can create a gate?__

See the _Permissions_ section.

__Who can destroy a gate?__

Anyone if you do not use a third-party protection plugin like Grief Prevention.

__Are there IConnomy integration, Features for user to dial other gates etc?__

Nope. This plugin is very minimalistic and plain. Server operators manage the portals players use them any time they are open.

## Usage

__Note that the commands mentioned in this section will be made available with the upcoming 2.1 release of Craft Inc. Gates! Meanwhile type '/gate help' while playing to see the current set of commands.__

With the __/gate__ plugin you can create gates which will teleport players anywhere you want. Just build a portal (like those nether portal). The gates can look any way you like.

To make the gate work place yourself in a newly created gate frame and type __/gate create [id]__. Afterwards walk to the destination of your portal and type __/gate exit [id]__ to set the destination. With __/gate open [id]__ you can get your newly created gate to work.

To hide a gate simply call __/gate hide [id]__. Now that gate won’t have purple blocks when open. You can even remove the frame without stopping the hidden gate from working. But unhiding a gate without a frame is not possible!


Use the following commands to modify your gates even further:

* __/gate close,c [id]__
Closes a gate to prevent players from using it.

* __/gate create,new [id]__
Creates a gate at your current location.

* __/gate delete,del,remove,rm [id]__

* __/gate exit,e [id]__
Changes the location where the gate will teleport players to your current location.

* __/gate help,h,? [page]__ 
Prints the help pages

* __/gate hide,h [id]__
Makes a gate NOT consist of gate blocks while open.

* __/gate info,details,i,d [id]__
Prints detailed informations about a certain gate.

* __/gate list,ls [page]__
Prints all availiable gates.

* __/gate location,l [id]__

* __/gate open,o [id]__
