Sentry

Sentry Author aufdemrand Version 0.5 Citizens build 2.0 dev build #178 Other dependencies Unknown Download Link Description: Sentries guard entrances.

Updates

Note: Seem to be having a few problems with Sentries taking targeting orders. Try /sentry reload after targeting.. I will look into this ASAP!

v. 0.5 beta NOTE! Do not use builds 179-183 of Citizens2 as it has a break in it that affects the left-clicking of NPCs. This should be fixed soon, but for now use build #178 if you want to use Sentries.

• Added the ability to specify targets.
• Added the ability to set the Health and Speed of a Sentry.
• 'Stuck' Sentries now respawn after a while.
• Fixed the death handling.
• Fixed Sentries remembering their guard location on a restart.

v. 0.3 beta

• Added ability to kill the NPCs. Swords kill faster. Built-in chance of criticals, etc.
• Fixed targeting code, should be more efficient now.
• Implemented respawning sequence.

Up next: Warning targeted Players.

How to Use

General Information

Sentries are useful for guarding areas from intruders. Sentries guard a 10 square radius.

To create a sentry, use:

/npc create '[NPC Name]' --char sentry

Once a desired guard location has been found, use:

/sentry guard

To add a target, use:

/sentry target add [target]

Valid targets are player names, mob names, or player groups. For example, /sentry target add zombie would make the Sentry target Zombies.

Removing a target is just as easy.

/sentry target remove [target]

You can also clear the target list.

/sentry target clear

To set a Sentries speed or health, use:

/sentry health [1-20] and /sentry speed [.1-1.0]

Note: default speed is .2 and default health is 20.

You can give Sentries weapons to make them more lethal with the core /npc command:

/npc equip

Known caveats and upcoming features

Sentries will be able to drop specific items, experience, etc.
