2682 Gates play an important role in Crossfire. Gates can be opened
2683 by activating a button/trigger, by speaking passwords (-> magic_ear)
2684 or carrying special key-objects (-> inventory checker).
2685 Unlike locked doors, gates can get shut again after a player has
2686 passed, which makes them more practical in many cases. Unlike normal
2687 gates, timed gates open when triggered but automatically close again
2688 after some time.]]>

2732 A trigger marker is an object that inserts an invisible force (a mark) into a

2735 checkers. It is also possible to use markers for removing marks again.

2743 about markers: Players don't "see" what's going on with them. It is
2744 your task, as map-creator, to make sure the player is always well
2745 informed and never confused.
2746 <br><br>
