Some thoughts on Gates

[gimlet]

I was surprised today when
1) i went through a gate I cast
2) Dispelled gate (nice pop!)
3) The gate was not dispelled at both ends only at the point of destination
4) Someone walked through gate at point of origin
5) and showed up next to me!

Was this a fluke?

 when u dispell gate it doesn t dispell it on both ends just on the end u dispelled at mate

So there is no reason to dispell a gate?

Unless your trying to trap someone that comes through the gate other than that nope

OK another thought on this idea then. What if you cast a gate then walk into it and it gives you "do you wish to go through this gate" gump. Once the gump is up cast dispel at point of origin and after casting dispel on the point of origin gate then click yes on the gump?

Now thats a great idea (if it works!) - Masscre - take a bow!

It also makes sense to dispel your gate from the arrival end if you don't want folks to be able to walk through to your point of origin, for example if you left from inside your home and its public.

If you cast a gate and someone walks through if you place an impassable object at the origin of the gate can they walk back ?

Yes all you have to do is double click on the gate and you can use it you do not have to walk through it.

Umm ok forget the walking bit.  If an impassable option is placed at the destination point what happens when you enter the gate ..   Or can you even place an object where a gate is. If not can you displell that end of the gate and place an object.

Hi all, from what I know as a old player in UO. Get to place a item right below where you stand. You need those pre patched empty Tub that weight 30 stone. It cannot be use as storage, So you just drag the item you wish to place right where you stand onto the Tub. Because it a prepatched Tub it will Bounce the item right where you stand. Hope that help in putting a impassable object at the gate. By the way I think if you stand beside the gate, You can double click the gate and it will still gate you to the other side. Correct me if it wrong so I can learn. Till today I still learning UO wahaha..

it's a classic of noob pk'ing

place some crates in a U shape -> gate -> close the u shape and dispel the gate -> cast a field in it -
and wait until the victim pops, personally i've never been a pk if not for mistake, but this looks a cool tactic
