CityGuard

Development Halt

Due to a Bukkit API problem we will no longer update this plugin. Please check out our other plugins which include, HighVoltage, DynamicEconomy,SocietyCraft. We are also currently working on a iOS app which may slow development of our plugins

Individual options for every guard

horizontal and vertical protection area size
damage
toggle invincibility
a time the guard is active (day, night or all)
a name

Usage

It's that easy: Write /guard create and the mob type, e.g. Zombie, and a guard will be created on the position you are looking at.
To modify a guard, first select it by right clicking it and then use the commands. All default settings a guard will use on creation can be set in the config.
The guard will now automatically attack hostile mobs and players who attack other players within it's horizontal and vertical radius.
Also friendly mobs are possible, but of course they can't deal damage to anybody, they only pursuit their target.
You have to enter the mob names exactly like this: Zombie
- zombie, ZOMBIE, ZOmbie or something else will not work!

Available guard types

Blaze, CaveSpider, Chicken, Cow, Creeper, Enderman, Giant, Monster, MushroomCow, Pig, PigZombie, Sheep, Silverfish, Skeleton, Snowman, Spider, Squid, Villager, Wolf, Zombie
This list could be outdated!

Bugs

It is known that in the latest version of this plugin that the guards may not attack mobs attacking the player. This is due to a bug in the Bukkit API. For more info please look at the link below: https:bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-1358

Would there be any way to add a damage component to normally non-hostile mobs, such as villagers or chickens?

Also, can you add iron golems to the list of mobs?

Every time I drop an item, this happens. Do you think you can fix this, because if you can't soon, I'll be forced to move my guards from my city's main square somewhere else.

May i suggest /guard list <radius> <species>, as a way to quickly find which guard one needs to work on?

I had an enderman guard inside a building with a 20 radius protection. The booger is watching me, but is no where to be found. Same with a spider in a cage; its gone, but its watching still. the "/guard move" moves another guard (also invisible), not the one i want to work on. Is there a configuration i overlooked? Are they being looked at by VanishNoPacket as admins?

@dmitchell94

Thanks for the info!

I'd love to see functionality similar to Ultima Online's way of handling guards... As soon as a player initiates PVP in a protected area, a guard teleports to that player (or is created next to him) and attacks him. That way the player isn't able to cheat the guards by finding a spot they can't path to. In UO it was an instant kill, but I'd like to have the option for the player to be able to escape by running out of the protected area as well.

Would that protection mode be at all possible? Thanks!

P.S. - I'm having trouble with guards not attacking players right now, but I do know there are issues with Bukkit 1.2.5 AI pathing. The player shows up in the guard's debug target list, but the guard makes no attempt to attack.

P.P.S - There are some grammar and spacing issues in the plugin's text, would it be possible to make all of the plugin's text output configurable? You could kill two birds with one stone that way because you'd have a kind of multi-language functionality by doing that.

Sorry if I'm so picky about the plugin, but I find it really promising and would love to put it into production!

@Darkhand81

The guards roam around a small area the attacker must be within the guards protection area The guard will attempt to reach the threat until it can or the threat leaves Iron Golems support is on our todo list but is a minor goal compared to some bug fixes and new feature implimentations.

@roninsilfar

we are adding WorldEdit compatibility. As defining groups, users or factions that are safe from the guards we have not yet planned on implementing it but it seems to be a popular suggestion and you may see this added in the near future.

I could use this mod if you could define groups or factions. By this I mean: Players 1-5 are in faction A Players 6-10 are in Faction B

If a player from Faction A attacks faction B then a guard of Faction B will attack player from Faction A, but will not attack members in it's own faction for defending themselves. However it still should attack members of it's faction if there is infighting.

A few questions...

Do guards roam around or do they stand still until they're needed?
What happens if a guard cannot reach a mob/player (PK on a roof, etc)
If a person inside a guard's protection area is attacked by someone standing outside the protection area, will the guards still go after them?
Are or will Iron Golems officially be supported?

Thanks!

Iron golem ID is

Villagergolem or VillagerGolem

Also, could you add a feature to make our guards follow us, and attack enemies ON SIGHT. I hate having to get hit by something to make it attack.

Does this plugin support Iron Golem guards? If so, what is the creature ID?
