Chaoss
The real MVP
Scripted gates are a perk that we offer to players that show support to MTA:RP through donation. Therefore we charge VIP Points for gates to be added to the server.
Our current gate scripter is MTA | Legend(dsmoked), as you can see these requests are not being completed in a timely matter. On behalf of the staff here at MTA:RP we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We want all of our players to get the quality service that they so deserve, which is why I will be looking for another person that has knowledge on gate scripting.
Don't know how to script gates? I have included a lua file that has details on how to make them. You simply need to fill in the blanks for the gates.
This is a example from a gate on Richmond. Everything with "--" is commented out and there to help you understand how it works.
If you are interested in helping out with gates you can send me a PM here on the forums. But make sure you know what you are doing before talking to me about it. Test your scripts locally first!
I don't have time to go through all the gate requests myself, so that's why I am spending the time to help you understand how they are done. If you have questions you can reply below and I will get to answering them. Chances are, someone else has the same question to ask.
Thanks for reading.
