pretty simple .
Make a dummy skill based on Defend .
Call it Open\Close.
Create a variable, call it CastleOpen
Then, trigger it :
Trigger 1
Events : a Generic unit initiates to transmit (or other) a spell
Conditions : "Spell being cast " equal to "Open\Close"
Actions : Put "CastleOpen=1"
Open "yourgate"


Then make this trigger
Trigger 2
Events : a Generic unit initiates to transmit (or other) a spell
Conditions : "Spell being cast " equal to "Open\Close" and " Castleopen = 1"
Actions : Put "CastleOpen=0"
Close "yourgate"



I havent tested it but it would function for only 1 gate.

everybody can make a gate.. but the hard part is that when a poen have build a gate..
for the gate to be build it have to be a unit.. and now do you make a unit act like a gate... that is the hard part..

ok pretty simple.
Get a structure ( towers are the best)
then make his speed to 0
after that, disable attacks, change the agibility map to nothing.
now change the model.
Here are now your triggers

Events : a Generic unit initiates to transmit (or other) a spell
Conditions : "Spell being cast " equal to "Open\Close"
Actions : Put "CastleOpen=1"
Play <your gate>'s "Death" Animation
Turn collision off.


Then make this trigger
Trigger 2
Events : a Generic unit initiates to transmit (or other) a spell
Conditions : "Spell being cast " equal to "Open\Close" and " Castleopen = 1"
Actions : Put "CastleOpen=0"
Play <your gate>'s "stand" animation
Turn collision on
