Iron Guard
IMPORTANT - READ THIS
(Added on Oct 18, 2012) Hey future visitors to this page. In case you didn't notice, I haven't done anything with this project in months! Why's that, you ask? Well, at the time I was working on this, the Bukkit API did not allow for an easy way to do what I wanted to do with Iron Guard. Many dirty hacks were used to get this working. I did add and fix a lot of stuff, but I didn't upload it here because the plugin had some crazy weird and dangerous bugs. After many frustrating hours debugging in vain, I decided to stop working on this project until the official Minecraft API was released.
I should have made this announcement earlier, and I'm sorry for the months of silence. I didn't forget about this project, I just ignored it. When the Minecraft API is released, I will develop this project for that and release it. If the Minecraft API is released, and I don't want to work on this project, I will release the most recent version of my source code so that someone can use it if they need.
If you have questions, post here or PM me.
Iron Guard - Take control of Iron Golems!
With Iron Guard, Iron Golems are now under your command!
Usage
To create an Iron Guard:
- Find an Iron Golem (it can be natural or player created) and right click it. This will change it into an Iron Guard.
- After that, you must give that Iron Guard a name. You can do that by using the command
/ig name [the guards name]
. - You will now have a guard that you can interact with!
Current Features
- Create an Iron Golem and right click it to turn it into an Iron Guard!
- Give it a name!
- Your guard will follow you around unless you tell it to stay!
- Have your guard attack players at your command
I may forget to update this page after I upload a new build so if you download this plugin, be sure to check the file's description for the most accurate list of features
Commands
Visit the Commands Page for a list of commands, how to use them, and their description.
Planned Features
With Iron Guard players can:
- Protect their base from unwanted intruders with whitelisting and blacklisting
- Give their Iron Guard protection priorities like who's protection/death should be your Golem's top priority
- Give their Iron Guard an area to wander and protect
- Despawn their Iron Guard to regain its iron
- Request protection from someone else's Iron Guard
- Expect more features to come!
With Iron Guard admins can:
- Limit the size that players can set for their Iron Guards to wander
- Set how agressive an Iron Guard is (player has to be within x amount of blocks to attack)
- Limit the number of Iron Guards a player can have
- Set a price for an Iron Guard
This project is still in its early stages. So, if you have an idea for a feature that you would like to see in this plugin, let me know what is and I'll do my best to include it!
@Eegabooga
please fix the follow thin when i tell my iron gaurd to follow me it dousen't:(
Beautiful plugin, love it, the only thing needed to perfect this is permissions ^^
If you have time, please update this plugin, I would love to use it. Looks promising and I will be sure to check back once in a while! Oh also please add bPermissions support in the future.
Some of my players can have a golem follow them, most cannot. For the most part, we can claim a golem and name it. Any fix?
I would love to use this in my spawn area! Zombies are allowed to spawn there and it would be nice to have a guard. More importantly, i want to make sure players are respectful and anyone that attacks the golem should be killed... maybe even kicked. Would be nice to allow running a kick / ban command if someone attacks the golem.
Hello,
Idea for feature :
Is this plugin not going to be updated anymore? The owner of it was inactive already for quite a while..
Please add bPermissions support
Any news with this plugin? Any luck on getting a nightly builds system in place?
will try this again when problems seem to clear.
Hi this is a great plugin but have a few problems with it such as I can name my IG but it doesn't follow me and attack the players that i command it to attack any suggestions as why this is happening?
@MERCHANToDEATH
No permission nodes yet, but I'll add them in with the next update.
Is this usable by everyone by default, is there a permission node? I only want to give this ability to some of my players.
i have the same problem as Cryptage ;)
@Eegabooga
Yes, it's happening right after i create my guard. Well, if i log off, when i reconnect i receive : "this is your guard", but if i want to do /ig follow i receive : You dont have an Iron guard!
This is weird
@Eegabooga
do i have to be on an Online account to use this Plugin?
@Cryptage @HavenOfKairos
Thanks for your reports! Is this happening right after you create your guards? If not, how long were they alive for? What did you do before this started happening? Have you logged off since you've created the guards?
@Eegabooga I've created my iron, i can name it, but when i do "/ig follow" => "your guard is already following you!" He don't follow me, but he's teleport to my home ?
I'm on cb 1.2.5 and i'm using spout.
sorry for my bad english '
The guard will not follow me. Yes, I named it. I use follow command but get told it's already following. I tried a variety of things to get it to work.Nothing seems to get it to work. Great plugin,will wait for future features and fixes and will try again.
Wow,looks greats. Testing now!
