How to Use

General Information

Sentries are useful for guarding areas from intruders.

To create a sentry, use:

/npc create '[NPC Name]' then

/npc trait sentry

To place your sentry use:

/npc path

And use the citizens waypoint editor to give your Sentry a place to stand, or a path to walk.

To add a target, use:

/sentry target add [target]

[target] can be ENTITY:Name, ENTITY:MONSTER, GROUP:Name, or PLAYER:Name

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 1.0 and default health is 20.

You can give Sentries weapons and armor to make them more lethal with the core Citizens2 command:

/npc equip

And right click with the desired weapon or armor. Sentries can be equipped with Bows, Blaze Rods (throw fireballs!) or any projectile.

To make the sentry drop his equipment on death use:

/sentry drops

To make the sentry impervious to damage and knockback use:

/sentry invincible

To make the sentry attack an attacker, even if not a target, use:

/sentry retaliate

To make the sentry take standard damage, instead of the default MUD-style critical hits and misses, use

/sentry criticals

Known caveats and upcoming features

Using /citizens reload may break your sentries or waypoints.
