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.

My Sentrys run very fast in a circle and do nothing with citizens-2.0.11-SNAPSHOT Build 1033 and 1034. Is this a bug ?
Guards run in a circle too and do nothing.
I have downgrad to build 1032 and work.

Edit: With Citizens Build #1037 Work again.

Sometimes my npc's dont load any of their sentry stats, arent wearing armor etc. I rely on these npcs to drop an item which poses as a key to pass an important server test. Would anyone know why they aren't loading? This happens only sometimes after a server reset, other times they load like normal.

"Sentry Mount" does not work well.

The "Sentinel" is standing and the horse through your body.

Greetings and thanks

Is there a way to make it so sentrys do not greet? I have 6 sentrys in an area and the feeling of walking in somewhere and being spammed by greetings is annoying.

Hello, am getting this: http://pastebin.com/9AHdLUgZ error with 1.8 build of sentry. Am not 100 percent sure if its sentry, but when I remove it, everything is fine. What might be wrong?

Hello,

Is there a way when creating a mounted sentry to equip armor to horses?

@usevalue

It's on the wiki at http://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Sentry v1.6.1

I'm trying to get the version #'s aligned with Bukkit's numbers... which jrbudda also disregarded, another thing for us to talk about whenever he comes online and doesn't ignore me.

Could you put a link to the latest (think it was 1.7.something) CB 1.6.4 build? I love this plugin, but it took me a while to figure out why it wasn't working after I upgraded!

@jrbudda Whoops, nevermind.

@Joro27

Having too many can load down your server a bit, but not all that bad. Lag-wise, you might say an NPC Sentry is equivalent to 10 or so zombies.

@adamwbb

You're running an outdated Citizens

Use this build: http://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/Citizens2/1021/

@Anyone who encounters errors with the imperfect 'v1.8' jrbudda suddenly woke up and uploaded:

working 1.7 compat builds are on the wiki at http://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Sentry - v1.7.1 is a tested and working update

I apologize for any confusion this might cause, jrbudda was disconnected for a while... hopefully he and I can talk soon and get everything together properly soon.

Do the npc-s/sentries slow your server when they are bigger number, or its always the same ?

... are you asking when Sentry and Citizens for 1.7.2 is coming? It's already here!

Citizens for 1.7.2: http://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/Citizens2/

Sentry v1.7.1 is compatible with 1.7.2: http://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Sentry

(Note about the version numbers: sentry v1.7.x is compatible with MC 1.7.x, the third number (x) is separate. 1.7.1 = first version targeted at MC 1.7.x, etc)
