# Timed portals addon

## What does it do?

Portals will auto-destruct after a configured time of being lit.

## How is it configured?

```yaml
Addon:
  TimedPortals:
    DestroyAfterMillis: <input1>
    Action: '<input2>'
    Effects: #input3
      - '[millis]->[particle pack]'
```

* input1: any integer above zero (0) that indicates how many milliseconds this portal will be activated before being destroyed
* input2: you can use between 'Close' or 'Destroy'. **Close** will just break the portal like you would if you attacked the inside of it and **Destroy** will also remove the frame blocks. You can also add {explode%\<integer 0-100>} if you want the portal to explode. The integer after the **%** are the chances of the portal exploding.
* input3: here you must list all the effects you want to play (from the [ParticlesAddon](/first-steps/configuring-dimensions/addons/premium-addons/particles-addon.md)) and the delay for every effect.

Effects Example:

```
  Effects:
#   - '[milliseconds after ignite]->[particle pack name]'
    - '1000->timer1'
    - '2000->timer1'
    - '3000->timer1'
    - '4000->timer1'
    - '5000->timer2'
    - '5500->timer3'
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://astaspastagam.gitbook.io/first-steps/configuring-dimensions/addons/premium-addons/timed-portals-addon.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
