Script for activating gates under circumstances

[Realspace]

I'd like to add new sectors in my XRSGE mod that will be populated by the Borons. But I wish to make them opening only after the plot is completed, as for Kingdom End.
Can someone points me to the code I've to watch? I've seen in the dlc's md but could not see/understand the part about gates reactivating.
Thank you

To my best knowledge there is no (script) way to activate a gate (or highway). However, I had a quick look and am pretty sure that (during the cutscene) the inactive gate is destroyed and replaced by an active gate.

implicates, that this gate is inactive and needs to be activated. Via the code from DeadAir.
From \extensions\ego_dlc_split\md\story_split.xml (lines 66 f and 1306):

Code: Select all

<find_sector name="$HeartOfAcrimonySector" macro="macro.Cluster_411_Sector001_macro" required="true" comment="not the Boneyard"/>
..
<find_gate   name="$FuneralGate"      accelerator="true" space="$HeartOfAcrimonySector"/>
...
<set_object_active object="$FuneralGate" activate="true"/>

It seems to be somehow similar with the boron DlC. You can find inactive gates in \extensions\ego_dlc_boron\maps\xu_ep2_universe\dlc_boron_zones.xml

But it also seems that in the code of the Boron Plot the "research gate" is destroyed and replaced by a "normal" one, as euclid said, see \extensions\ego_dlc_boron\md\story_boron.xml line 2500 and following.

Oooh i did not know they created a gate in md. I wonder if they finally made a way for us to do gate connections on the fly or if it still requires hard coding prior

Unfortunately not
