Gatehouse drawbridge and 2 portcullis

This is a gatehouse/barbican. It is based off off the general designs for the barbicans and gatehouses of concentric castles, most often associated with the castle building of King Edward 1st. It has a draw bridge and two portcullis gates, a hoardings which the drawbridge arms retreat into.

To get the drawbridge working connect the rope rings on the bridge itself to the rope rings on the arms, next connect the arm rope rings to the rope drums. You can delete the wooden struts under the drawbridge which are just there to stop the bridge from smashing when spawning into the game. I usually place two of the small triangle blocks as you can see in one of the photos.

To get the portcullus working first connect the rope drums to the rope rings on top of the gate (the rope drums can be found on the 3rd floor, the rope rings on the portculis gate roughly on the 1s floor, can be a fiddle connecting them). Next delete the catches on the the portcullis, these can be found on the first floor (either side), having deleted these and the circular blocks, add a stone wall the same as the others. You are now ready to move the gates up and down. For some reason when deleting the catch to the first portcullis gatebe the drawbridge the portcullis can suddenly stutter, this is a physics error and I would recomend saving before deleting the catch.
