Default auto close gate mod help


"dilbert firestorm" wrote in message

hi all

I had a little project that turned a regular gate into an auto-close gate.
the mod worked, unfortunately, it worked too well. the gate slams too
hard and too fast. This action causes the gate to shift positions slightly
along the wall everytime its used. suggestions on any way to slow it
down?

this is what I used.
