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

Set defaults for new sentries
Change or disable the item used for various attack types

Please no. Download it from the CI. Don't trust random unaffiliated individuals with binary releases...

I wouldn't trust random file sharing.

The CI is back online already as of yesterday.

You can try toggling the "use-new-finder" Citizens config setting. If neither value works as well as you want... you can bug the Citizens dev team in #citizens on irc.esper.net (IRC channel) or the Citizens issue page requesting an upgrade to the pathfinding code to better handle your setup.

Any tips on how I can make tracking a bit better while a Sentry is in water? The Sentry tends to just spin in an endless circle near shore or float out in the water, lol. Thanks again! I appreciate it. -Mr_B

Eh, good point friend. I didn't think about it like that. I just assumed it might be there already and nobody ever wanted to use the plugin like that, lol. Thanks for the heads up! Take care!

Do you how any idea how expensive it would be to do pathfinding code over potentially thousands of blocks in every direction? 100 block radius = 100 * 100 * 100 = 1,000,000 blocks to calculate through already.

Hey there! Great plugin, really excited to start using it!

I've got one question - is it possible to set the range of which a Sentry can track a player, or target you set it to go after, higher than 100 blocks? I am trying to make a boss that will basically track down a player that is closest no matter where they are at in the world, over time. Weird, I know... its for a quest though for a community event of sorts.

So basically, would it be possible to allow individuals like myself to set the tracking range higher than 100? If not, perhaps you can keep that suggestion in mind in your next update!

Worst comes to worst, do you (or anyone reading this) know of a way to make my Sentry track someone from a very far distance, traversing water and mountains if necessary?

Thanks in advance! I appreciate it! -Mr_B

You can do it with a Denizen script.

Good idea if it isn't implemented already. Make yourself some sentry prison guards or something :P

Hey, is there any way to make flying sentries? The /npc gravity and /npc flyable options from Citizens2 work, but Sentries can't handle the pathfinding if they are toggled on (even if they just have to walk across flat ground).
