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. Sentries with the same name seem to be causing problems. Will fix ASAP.
