Chat Gates

Like key gates, but only open when somebody uses the correct message in chat.
When placing, you have the Global or Private option. For global, the gate opens to everyone after one person says it.
For private, the gate only opens to the people who said it.

You also have the option of how close the player has to be to open it. From 0 (as in has to be in the same coordinate)  to "world size"

It would not work for private messages.

Good for passwords, secret areas and more.

I imagine it would look like a normal white key gate, but with a chat bubble icon inside

I see this giving great opportunity in the future.

Re: Chat Gates

Doesnt really sound very everybodyeditsy IMO, although as you say, it would be quite useful for a few things

That wouldn't really work. If you saw other people say "prickly pickles" in chat randomly you would probably catch on that that's a password or something. Also, I'm not a big fan of adding new mechanics to features that weren't intended at all in the first place. In this case, chat wasn't intended for stuff like in-world passwords.

Oh right. Others could see the chat. Hmm...

Re: Chat Gates

What if instead of saying it out loud, you put the message in a secret box. And instead of opening a door or something, we just go ahead and make it give you edit.

Thoughts?

That's good. Entering the message into a box,

But we should really have this and an edit-giving item seperate

Re: Chat Gates

No there should be a special sign and in its balloon there's a box to type the password. That will open the doors. If you type the password correctly it will open the doors.

You can also give the signs and doors ids.
