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.

I'm getting this error that won't load any of my npcs, and I'm not sure if it's Citizens2's problem or Sentry's problem. Is there a way to fix this?Everything works when I disable Sentry

There are no dev builds. New releases will show up on the wiki sooner than here due to the bukkit approval process.

A quick question:

Will you fix the problem that Sentrys don't work with ragan262's Quester Plugin soon?

That would be awesome because i need this for my RPG server :D

If I use /sentry guard <player> the resulting guard can't take or deal damage.

Also guards are going into an "isDying" status that makes them disappear. It's a massive pain.

Turn off retaliation, I mean. Archers shouldn't target anything that is out of line-of-sight. That's bukkit's calculation, not mine, maybe its broken.

First of all, turn what off, and second. I set up some archers at spawn, on some towers, with 100 range to they shoot monsters around spawn, and they seem to like trying to shoot monsters that are... under ground... i also tried with with a redstone torch.

The ignore list doesn't apply to retaliation, you'll have to turn it off to avoid this behavior.

@Madmike59

I can confirm this problem when warping away and the chunk unloads. It didn't used to do that, must be a change in minecraft/bukkit/citizens somewhere. I need to discuss it with the citizens dev. Edit: changing the chunks.always-keep-loaded setting in the Citizens config.yml to true might workaround this problem.

Yea im having a problem where when i tp home or to spawn they dont come with me. He stays behind. It seemed like it was just a distance thing tho because if i moved him with commands and then reloaded citizens about 3 times i can get him to show up by me again, and if i tp about 100 blocks he would follow but if it was like from town to town he would just stay where i last was in the other town untill i walked back up to him, then he would start following again.

Also some of my regular guards that i have standing around the bank and whatnot dont seem to like their armor on days. Kinda a hit and miss weather they spawn with it or not.

Also another issue i have been tyring to overcome is, when a projectile from one npc hits another npc, they start attacking eachother, i have tried using /sentry ignore add entity:NPC but it doesnt work, they still kill eachother. Is there any way to stop them doing this?

Ya know what you're right, sorry. What happens is it retaliates and immediately gives up cause the player is too far, you'll have to increase the range or build the area to prevent sniping. You could also hook into Denizen and use a proximity trigger to 'activate' the boss fight.

@Madmike59

Guards should remain where they are when a player logs out, and are supposed to follow a player when they teleport somewhere, are they not?

@TuplaVR

That could be easily accomplished with Denizen

Hey! If you have time I have new npc request. New npc would be Buffpanger which could simply buff players (give potion effects for chosen time" So if you are interested please check this plugin request thread I made. :) http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/buffbang-npc.121143/
