Hi, they’re not invisible. They were deleted. I don’t think we know exactly why it happens yet, but @RexXxuS can probably respawn them.

But if you just put a waypoint on their position, you can always use them. The supergate structure is just a decoration basically.

See here:

I need help please- Super Gate model missing

I restored 3 of missing (SYN) Supergates. It’s weird. sometimes it happens, sometimes not - even though set to Admin faction. Maybe related to touch nevertheless. I recommend to make waypoints to those Supergates, so you can find the supergate zone even without the model. The model is just decoration. The supergate zone always works.

Restored them for now.
Now is the time where many will make such tickets I guess.
Touching might help from time to time. Even though I’ve set them to admin faction. Unconvenient for now.

Thank you so much

@RexXxuS

Touching might help from time to time. Even though I’ve set them to admin faction.

I could be mistaken but I don’t think setting player spawned structures to admin bypasses the touch timer.
Only POIs are bypassed.

The description,
Wipe time = Time after which any player-built structures get removed when not visited (0 = disabled)

Now, there is a console command to switch a player spawned structure into a POI. It requires a server restart afterwards to take effect.

struct poi <true/false>
It sets the structure you are currently standing on into a POI. No ID needed.

Worth a test?

[RexXxuS]

Yep, the struct command is in general quick sick.
I know that and I tested it too. Somehow it didn’t work either.
Probably because I didn’t add the dynamically added Supergates to the playfield.yaml, which all POIs must be.
I mean I could do that, with all the exact coordinates etc. but uff, that would be quite a burden.
Will check over the time or we just add a auto-restore function to bring back deleted Supergates automatically, cause they should never be just deleted by itself.

Thanks for your suggestion though. I see you read and know a lot of stuff
