Sentry for Citizens2

Table of Contents

Sentry is a character plugin for the NPC plugin Citizens2. With Sentry, NPC's can be set to guard areas or act as bodyguards. Hostile targeting, retaliation, and a variety of options and stats allow a Sentry NPC to be customized to almost any guarding or combat situation.

Features

Sentries Can:

Attack monsters, players, and groups automatically. Sentry also has built-in support for Factions, Towny, War and SimpleClans
Kill, and be killed by, players, monsters, and the environment.
Guard locations, paths, players, or other NPCs.
Use ranged or melee weapons. Shoot arrows, fireballs, snowballs, eggs, lightning, and potions with deadly accuracy.
Be configured with stats such as Strength, Health, Armor, Speed, Range and even Night Vision!
Ride mounts!
Work with Denizen to become Bosses and Quest NPCs that run scripts upon death.

Installation

Install Citizens2 You must use the correct version for your version of Bukkit
Download the correct Sentry from the Citizens Wiki. You must use the correct version for your version of Bukkit
Place Sentry.jar in your minecraft /plugins/ directory. Start your server.
Create a NPC with Citizens and give it the 'sentry' trait.
- ```
 /npc create Town Guard --trait sentry 
```
Customize your Sentry's stats and options and you're ready to go.

A full list of commands and options is available on the Citizens 2 Wiki

Configuration

Sentry makes a config.yml in the plugins/Sentry folder on first load. Use this to tailor Sentry to your server. You can:

Set defaults for new sentries
Change or disable the item used for various attack types
Add potion effects like slow or blindness to certain Sentry weapons.
Add armor, strength and speed buffs to armor and weapons for Sentries.
Set critical hit chances and messages.

The config.yml is commented with instructions.

You're using a version of Sentry incompatible with the version of Denizen you have.

Update your Sentry at http://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Sentry#Updates to 1.8.2 build 2

You updated Bukkit to 1.7.10 but not Sentry. http://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Sentry#Updates Get Sentry 1.8.2 Build 3 for 1.7.10 compatibility.

For some reason, Sentry forces combat mode for mods. Fixing that requires either a code fix or switching to a different system, like dSentry.

If you do something like "/npc sound -x" it'll error and show you the full help output. Which might help you understand.

ok thanks

I would like to ask you if there is any way to make skeletons and wither skeletons to attack me without shooting me. Im equipped a Wither Skeleton with a sword but he still attacks me bows and he won't walk to attack me

P.D Do you know how to use the new citizens commands /npc sound and /npc effect. I need them but I can't find any tutorials

Not natively with Sentry, but if you add something like Denizen ( http://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Denizen ) you could use that to accomplish it.

I want the Sentry to be in an area, and watch for players engaging in PVP, and if the players are, quickly run over, attack to kill both players, then after they PVP'ers dead, return to their post. Is this possible?

I removed the trait health from the npc but it still won't work and the sentry respawns again after killing him. The only way to stop this is when I do /sentry respawn 0

Select the NPC and /trait health

should remove Denizen's respawn handling entirely.

(Unless you have a script doing it. In which case, remove the script)

Do you possibly have:

- another plugin that could force a respawn

- another Citizens plugin like Denizen that might respawn the NPC (EG, Denizen's health trait)

Also, did you use "/sentry info" to confirm the respawn delay actually got set?

I Have a problem with the 1.8.2 version

When I make an npc and add to him /trait sentry and I type sentry spawn everything works fine. But when I type /sentry respawn (example 60) the respawn delay should be in 60 seconds. But instead of this after I kill the npc he automatically respawns again without using the 60 secs delay.

Hope someone could help me :|
