    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Backwards facing gate for town portals
    What are you suggesting:
    Enabaling backwards facing gates / portals, as to allow for the portal signs to be hidden.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    Will allow for greater flexibility when planning builds that contain portals, allowing for hiding of the stargate sign on the other side of the portal (but still exit the portal on the correct side).

    I believe the plugin used for portals already has this feature inbuilt (but permissions defined to create and use these portals are not set up fully). I believe they can be made in a similar manner to how portals are currently made, with the only difference being "AB" on the fourth line.
    Other information:
    Would also need some administrive change to town-town portal applications, as to allow the GA to know where to put the sign for the creation of the portal, have access to where the sign is to be placed, and to know which direction the portal is to exit. This can be done by having applicant place a sign where they want the portal sign to be, and a second sign on "exit" side of the portal, with an optional checkbox on the app stating wether it be a normal or backwards portal.
    Plugin or custom addition:
    Stargate
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    +1 I was just thinking about this yesterday when thinking about putting in town-exclusive portals. I love the idea, though not sure if the plugin uses the sign to orient the player when warping. Would be great if possible.

    I'll look into this and see if our current plugin allows it.

    Added.
    You can now find this in the various portal applications.
