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.

Okay, I also did /sentry range which i forgot to mention, it still didn't work. I bring the sentry close to another sentry as well, while i'm hitting one, the other sentry's don't do anything.

I don't want to use Denizen, because I already have too many plugins, i just wish to use this feature and hope it is fixed if there is by any chance a bug, if you wish to come on my server and see for yourself, you may. Just ask.

Make sure the sentries are within each other's range. (/sentry range)

You can also do some more advanced things with Denizen. For example you could give all sentries a Group target, and script them so that if they are attacked it puts that player into that group so all sentries will be permanently aggressive to them.

Archer (and all ranged) sentries do not chase, If you want to make them harder to hit you can make them patrol with /npc path, they will continue to move on their waypoints while shooting.

How do I make it so if a player attacks 1 sentry, ALL other sentrys attack the player?

I added Event:PvSentry, but when i attack one NPC beside another one, it still does nothing. I need help. please!

problem 2: How do I make Archers follow? Players seem to hit Archers from a far distance and hide behind walls, but the Archer still attempts to hit the player from where he is standing, the Archer would not chase down the attacking player, instead it would just stand still and shoot.

@NoArmsNoCookies

No, but theres some options in Citiznes to limit the number of NPCs a player can create.

@NewGuy01

Have you looked at the Event:PvSentry target? that should allow sentries near each other to respond to an attack on one.

@ShogunTheBeast

Update Sentry to 1.5.1 on the wiki for latest Denizen compatibility that is causing that problem.

Is it possible you could (If you are still working/adding on to this) make perhaps links between certain sentrys to help eachother when one is being attacked?

Is it possible to limit the number of sentries per player, indepent from limits for e.g. traders?

Would it be possible for someone to add maven build support (pom.xml)? I typically make test builds on my server where eclipse is not available/possible.

Thanks for the nice plugin!

It's all well and updated, but the sentry that just attacks the attacks, even those that are not marked as targets.

@Brky1

I will look into it, I don't use factions myself.

@Neil9444 NPC's have skins related to the player you name them after, there's more details on the wiki.

@MozartMozart1000

Yes, yes there is.

@gammerstar You have to give him targets. If you already gave him targets check for errors in your server console, and make sure you are up to date on everything.

@frol1

That's an error in Citizens, not Sentry, but it looks like it's unhappy with the command you are giving it. The syntax for despawn is /npc despawn id. are you trying to do it with the NPC's name instead?

If your mounted sentries aren't doing any damage make sure you update to the very latest Citizens2 dev build. Also there's some fixes incoming to mount speed and teleporting.
