Guest Gate

[AlbinoTiger]

Is there a way of putting a guest gate on a bridge?

Interesting concept....
I'm not sure if it's possible but one could place the gate and raise it in advanced placement and them connect barriers from there. but again I'm not sure what happens below it. Will the animals escape under it?

[AlbinoTiger]

I have tried but there is no advanced placement for the gates, I wanted the guests to walk above and into the Animals enclosure without the Animal eating them lol

[grampers62]

I have one placed on a cliff that they could enter but instead they all walked in and turned running away screaming. XD I reckon it only works for animals with guests can enter = true tag on them.

Why would you need the guest gate though? You could just extend the bridge or work with null barriers.

I was just trying to see if the idea were something that could be done.
It really is much better to do an elevated path above a habitat.

I did use the null barrier in the end but it would be useful if we could use the gates like that

You could just build a gate yourself using the construction pieces. I actually did that for my latest walkthrough habitat because the barrier gates simply wouldn't fit and it works perfectly. Guests can walk through those scenery pieces but animals can't, so when you use the null barrier to complete the habitat and add a custom gate in that gap nothing will escape.

how do you make your own gate? this would be useful to know for future enclosures

I think he means a static gate as opposed to one that opens and closes.

You can do it. I assume you want the guest gate walk through instead of an overhead to see if you get the happiness based on a walk through instead of just an overhead viewpoint?
Anyway, the guest gate requires terrain but it does not care where that terrain is so all you need is a thin slice of elevated terrain to place the guest gate and then use the null barrier to attach the ends to the "regular" habitat barrier using construction pieces/nature to close up the gap in the 'regular" barrier. The exit guest gate could be ground level or done the same way- whatever you like.

Brilliant thank you :)
I did want it to be a walk through enclosure and I think I have achieved it, the guests seem to like it
The next time I do it I will have to remember to put a little bit of terrain under it

What I mean is something like this:

You can simply build a gate out of scenery pieces for your guests to walk through on a regular path, so you don't need the extra terrain or whatever. Only works for guests though, keepers still need the original habitat gate to get in.

I see, thank you :)
Useful to know
