Sentry for Citizens2
![]() | ![]() |
|---|
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.

Posted Sep 22, 2014Hello,
Is it possible to group them for stats? like all archers, guards, etc? it'd make it real easy to change all archers' range at once.
Thank you and great work!

1.7.9 build is compatible with all 1.7.9-r0.x. If you're getting an error, you might want 1.8.2b2 from the wiki http://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Sentry#Updates

Citizens didn't, you somehow acquired the correct build.
The other plugins, quite likely.
Citizens and Sentry and plugins like them use /internal code/ that's outside the frame of the Bukkit API - we aren't supposed to be accessing it. To discourage us, the Bukkit team has taken to adding version numbers to the code, so it forces us to update our code every time Bukkit changes their numbers, or the plugin won't work.

@Syraleaf
That means you're running a 1.7.9 build of Sentry on (some other version. I can't know which other version because you didn't post the full error message).
The solution is either updating or downdating Sentry to match your CraftBukkit version. Here's the list of Sentry updates with their compatible CB version: http://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Sentry#Updates
