 * WHITELIST: The list of people that will always be able to click the gate to operate it, and whose objects/vehicles will always be able to open the gate by passing through the detector beam (if enabled). This does not affect controllers. Separate with commas. '''NOTE: Whitelist names are ''usernames'' (nelson.jenkins, newbie), not ''legacy names'' (Nelson Jenkins, Newbie Resident).''' If you have more than 10 names, please read "Extended Whitelist" below.

 ==Linking==
 The IntelliDoor Gate can be linked, but caution should be exercised when linking multiple units together. The motor housing automatically searches for the closest parts, so units positioned very closely together may interfere with each other, especially when detectors are used.

 * AUTOCLOSE: If you set this to 0, the gate must be manually closed. Otherwise, after N seconds, the gate will check for obstructions, then do one of the following:
 ** If WAITFORCAR is set to Yes and a vehicle hasn't passed by yet, it will wait until that occurs, or the AUTOCLOSEFORCE time is reached.
-** If WAITFORCAR is set to No, it will immediately close. As such, if you choose this option, you should probably increase the autoclose time from 2 to something more reasonable, like 5.
+** If WAITFORCAR is set to No, it will immediately close. As such, if you choose this option, you should probably increase the autoclose time to something more reasonable, like 5.
 * WAITFORCAR: If set to Yes, the gate will not automatically close (if AUTOCLOSE is enabled) until a vehicle has passed through it, or the AUTOCLOSEFORCE time is reached. If set to No, the gate will immediately close when the AUTOCLOSE time is reached.
 * AUTOCLOSEFORCE: Sometimes the gate won't detect a vehicle to trigger the WAITFORCAR setting - perhaps the vehicle drove away without passing through, or it was too fast to detect in a high-lag condition. In this case, AUTOCLOSEFORCE is the number of seconds the gate will wait before closing automatically, whether or not a vehicle has passed through. If you set this to 0, the gate will remain open until either manually closed or another car passes through.
 * SENSORDELAY: If the gate attempts to close while obstructed (for example, a vehicle is in the way) or after a vehicle passes through while WAITFORCAR is set to Yes, it will wait until the obstruction is cleared, then wait another N seconds before actually closing. If another vehicle or object enters the path of the gate during this time, the timer will "reset" and the gate will wait another N seconds after it's cleared before closing. This allows multiple vehicles and vehicles with trailers to enter without the gate closing at an awkward time. Note that this is ''not'' used when the gate is manually closed or closed through the API - in that case, it will close immediately whenever the path is clear, as if SENSORDELAY was 0.
 * DETECTOR: This option serves two functions: as the autoopen setting, and as a position setting. When enabled, ''DETECTOR'' will cause a small detector object to emit a detector beam the length of the gate arm (including the extension) across the road, or in whichever direction that the emitter aperture faces. When a vehicle (or any physical object) crosses into that beam ''which is owned by somebody who has access to the gate directly'' (through the ACCESS or WHITELIST settings), the gate will automatically open. To disable this, leave it as 0. Otherwise:
-** To automatically place the detector on the ground N meters in front of the gate, enter a value in meters (for example, "4.0") for N. Note, however, that this may not place the detector in an optimal position, and it may not even be placed in contact with the ground if your gate motor housing and the detector position aren't at the same height, so you may have to use the second option below.

-** To manually place the detector where you want to, type in "MANUAL" instead of a number. This will activate the detector, but it will not be automatically moved. You will have to move it yourself as a linked object using the edit controls (make sure you have "Edit Linked" checked!) to a good position. Keep in mind, if you rotate the detector, it will emit the beam out of the aperture near the top. Remember, '''do not unlink it'''. When not active, the detector object is hidden inside the gate motor housing, so you may have to alt-cam inside it to move it out. (If you don't know how to do this, first set the ''DETECTOR'' value to a number so it is moved out, then set it to "MANUAL".)

 * CITYLITE_INTERSECTION: If you own the [[CityLite]], you can interface it with the IntelliDoor Gate. It will display an indication based on the gate's open/closed state. A 3-head signal is recommended, but a 2-head (or any other) signal will also work, although it may not show all indications accurately. Set its intersection ID to a unique value, and put that ID in this field.

 Keep in mind, however, that when you resize the linkset, you are changing the scale on the ''DETECTOR'' and ''EXTENSION'' settings. For example, if you resized the gate linkset to 2x its original size, a ''DETECTOR'' setting of 3.0 would actually place the detector 6.0 meters away.

 ==Resetting Gates==
 The gate will automatically reset when the _config notecard is edited. Alternatively, you can manually reset a gate by editing it and going to Build -> Scripts -> Reset Scripts (or wherever that option is located in your viewer). MAKE SURE the gate is closed before resetting it.
