Elementals
Elementals
Elemental Giants you can fight!
These Elemental Giants are huge creatures made out of blocks. The final goal is to create fully functioning mobs, with animations, attacks, and maybe even boss fights! The plugin is still kind of proof-of-concept, and as the core code needs some work, there is little to do now, but much potential for this idea.
This project is still in development!
Do not use this if you are looking for a badass Zelda-esque boss fight. Use it to find bugs and give us ideas.
Features are subject to change depending on how much sleep the devs got last night.
We are accepting suggestions about almost anything to do with the plugin. To keep the incoming Ideas organized, Please Add a ticket with your ideas.
Planned Features
- Elementals come is different types with different abilities. Lava, Water, Stone Dirt, etc,
- Elementals will be the boss of the normal world.

1) Java Version: 1.7.0_55
2) Console Errors: None
3) Server OS: Windows 8.1? o.O
No errors pop up on the console. The plugin doesn't give errors, the elemental folder generates, but not the .yml that you have in your uploaded image.
Edit: After inputting the .yml config and putting it into the elementals folder, it works perfectly. I guess the only problem is that it won't automatically generate the .yml files.

I had to add a sleep mode because if the elemental is more then 150 blocks away from a player the block count go throughout the roof. I think this will work for spawning them anywhere in the world.

Well I guess that depends on how integrated you want it. I think ideally the API could handle throttling Elementals somehow, or maybe automatically removing them on chunk unload?
Anyway if that were the case, spawning could be handled by an external plugin, which would be ideal.
For attacks, I was thinking if they have a set of ranged and melee attacks, they could just chose one randomly depending on target distance.
If you wanted to integrate with Magic, these attacks could include spell casts, so you'd have 100 or so to choose from :)
My automata are pretty simple, they choose an attack from a randomly weighted list every "tick" (different automata tick at different rates) - one option is "do nothing" so they're not constantly spamming you with spells. I dunno if you were considering something more complex though.

You may do the world spawn code if you like.
still need to figure out AI for choosing what attack to use.

Mmmmm ... You want to build in attack spells? And natural spawning? Can't talk you into delegating those eh? :)

Posted May 3, 2014Oh and if you want effects, you could use Magic for that. This would mean effects don't work unless Magic is there, though, unlike EffectsLib which you would build in.
I realize now this is probably what he meant, not like merging the projects or something.

Er, yeah why? They seem totally different but maybe I'm missing something?
Now if I could talk @Splated and @epicfacecreeper into letting me integrate magic as a soft-depend... I've been thinking Elementals that randomly cast spells would be awesome. Each one could have spells tailored to it's nature, like fire, earth, etc.... Tempting? :)

Found it http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/effectlib/
Looks like its for sending particle packets to players. Could be useful when we are ready to build the attack spells.

I can't seem to find the plugin you're talking about. Anyways, a merger would be very unlikely.
