# Gate

<mark style="color:green;">Registry of all server gates—defines where a gate leads, who can use it, and the destination area. It serves as the foundation for nearly every teleportation system (town return,</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">`/reset`</mark><mark style="color:green;">,</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">`/mreset`</mark><mark style="color:green;">, Castle Siege, events,</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">`Move.txt`</mark><mark style="color:green;">'s</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">`/move`</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">command, etc.).</mark>

<table data-search="false"><thead><tr><th>Column</th><th>Accepted Values</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Ind</td><td>Number, one per gate</td><td>Identifies the gate.

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Notes</mark>

* Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord, and Rage Fighter only require **two-thirds of the gate's `MinLevel`** (rounded down), except when entering Swamp of Calmness or when this behavior is disabled in the server's general configuration.
* When `TargetGate` is set, editing the `Map`/`X`/`Y`/`TX`/`TY`/`Dir` values of **this** gate has no effect—the actual destination is always taken from the referenced gate.
* The `MinLevel`/`MaxLevel`/`MinReset`/`MaxReset`/`AccountLevel` restrictions are only enforced by the system using the gate (for example, `Move.txt`)—`Gate.txt` by itself does not universally block travel in every use case.
