  • IMPORTANT:
  • NPC's won't do melee damage? In your config.yml file, toggle the setting that says "workaround damage" to true, and restart your server!
  • NPC's won't do ranged damaged, or protection plugins causing problems? In your config.yml file, toggle the setting that says "enforce damage" to true, and restart your server!
  • Note that back-support for older versions is sometimes limited. Compatibility is tested mainly on the most recent one or two versions. 1.8.8 servers are supported as the oldest option, but not fully functional. See notes here: https://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Minecraft_1.8

Usage

  • First, get acquainted with Citizens in general for best luck using Sentinel.
  • Second, download the plugin and put it into your server's plugins folder.
  • Third, if you want to adjust the config, start the server to generate a config, then close the server and edit the config (open plugins/Sentinel/config.yml with a text editor) to your liking and finally restart the server.
  • Now, to create your first Sentinel:
    • Select or create an NPC (/npc sel or /npc create Bob)
    • Run command: /trait Sentinel
    • Run command: /npc equip
    • Give the NPC items as needed, by right clicking the NPC with the wanted item. Generally you'll want to give the NPC armor and a weapon.
    • Run command: /sentinel addtarget MONSTERS
    • Spawn a zombie via creative inventory spawn eggs and watch it die!
    • Run command: /sentinel help
      • This will list all your options to edit the NPC's Sentinel settings.
        • Play with them freely, just be careful if you have other players around!
        • Do note, they won't attack you unless you run command: /sentinel removeignore owner.
  • Examples:
    • To make your NPC attack sword wielders, use /sentinel addtarget helditem:.*sword

Common Issues

  • "My Sentinel NPC won't attack me!"
    • Sentinel NPC's do not attack their owner by default as a safety measure (to avoid you dying while setting the NPC up). To allow the NPC to attack you, use command /sentinel removeignore owner
  • "My NPCs aren't respawning at their spawnpoint value / are respawning just where they died!"
    • You likely have an unrelated respawner taking control. The most common cause of this would be the Citizens native respawn functionality... if that's been activated, you can disable that by using command /npc respawn -1
  • "My NPCs aren't dropping their items when they die! I used /sentinel drops and everything!"
    • You may have a plugin or world setting blocking drops. If this is the case, the easiest solution is to just enable workaround drops in the config (Find your Sentinel/config.yml file, open it in a text editor, and change that value from false to true, then use /sentinel reload).
  • "My NPCs aren't taking/giving damage in no-PvP zones!"
    • If you're using WorldGuard for anti-PvP... update! WG 7.0.0 has patches to fix this issue! If you're using a different plugin or can't update, consider enabling the workaround damage and/or enforce damage options in the config.

Integrations

Sentinel integrates with a few external plugins, including:

  • Vault, for permission group targets! (Use group:GROUP_HERE)
  • Towny, for town targets! (Use towny:TOWN_HERE)
  • Factions, for faction targets! (Use factions:FACTION_HERE, factionsenemy:NAME, factionsally:NAME)
  • SimpleClans, for clan targets! (Use simpleclan:CLAN_NAME_HERE)
  • War, for war team targets! (Use war_team:WAR_TEAM_NAME)
  • CrackShot, to allow NPCs to fire CrackShot weapons.

Sentinel is integrated into by external plugins as well, including:

  • Denizen (using Depenizen as a bridge), for scriptable targeting!
    • Use held_denizen_item:DENIZEN_ITEM_NAME for targeting based on targets holding a Denizen item
    • or use denizen_proc:PROCEDURE_SCRIPT_NAME to fire a procedure script with first procedure context (named 'entity' by default) being the entity that might be a target. Determine 'true' or 'false' to indicate whether the entity is a target.

Sentry user?

  • Type "/sentinel sentryimport" on a server running both Sentry and Sentinel to instantly transfer all data to Sentinel!
  • Sentinel 1.7.2 is the last version that contained the Sentry importer. If you need to import old Sentry data, you must use a 1.7.2 build.

Permissions

  • sentinel.basic for the /sentinel command
  • sentinel.admin to edit other player's Sentinel NPCs.
  • sentinel.greet for commands: greeting, warning, greetrange
  • sentinel.info for commands: info, stats, targets
  • Everything else is "sentinel.X" where "X" is the command name, EG "sentinel.damage".

Targets

These are all valid targets and ignores:

  • Common/basic targets: NPCS, OWNER, PASSIVE_MOB, MOBS, MONSTERS, PLAYERS
  • Basic entities: PIGS, OCELOTS, COWS, RABBITS, SHEEP, CHICKENS, HORSES, MUSHROOM_COW, IRON_GOLEMS, SQUIDS, VILLAGER, WOLF, SNOWMEN, WITCH, GUARDIANS, SHULKERS, CREERERS, SKELETONS, ZOMBIES, MAGMA_CUBES, ZOMBIE_PIGMEN, SILVERFISH, BATS, BLAZES, GHASTS, GIANTS, SLIME, SPIDER, CAVE_SPIDERS, ENDERMEN, ENDERMITES, WITHER, ENDERDRAGON
  • In 1.9 or higher: SHULKERS
  • In 1.10 or higher: POLAR_BEARS
  • In 1.11 or higher: VEXES, DONKEYS, LLAMAS, MULES, HUSKS, ELDER_GUARDIANS, EVOKERS, SKELETON_HORSES, STRAYS, ZOMBIE_VILLAGERS, ZOMBIE_HORSES, WITHER_SKELETONS, VINDICATORS
  • In 1.12 or higher: PARROTS, ILLUSIONERS
  • In 1.13 or higher: DOLPHINS, DROWNED, COD, SALMON, PUFFERFISH, TROPICAL_FISH, PHANTOMS, TURTLES
  • 1.13 or higher special targets: FISH
  • In 1.14 or higher: PILLAGERS, RAVAGERS, CATS, PANDAS, TRADER_LLAMAS, WANDERING_TRADERS, FOXES
  • Also allowed: player:NAME(REGEX), npc:NAME(REGEX), entityname:NAME(REGEX), helditem:MATERIALNAME(REGEX), group:GROUPNAME(EXACT)
  • Also, event:pvp/pvnpc/pve/pvsentinel
  • Also, via internal sample integrations: sbteam:SCOREBOARD_TEAM_HERE, healthabove:PERCENTAGE and healthbelow:PERCENTAGE, permission:PERM.KEY, squad:SENTINEL_SQUAD_NAME, uuid:UUID
  • Also, event:message,SOMETEXT will match chat messages that contain 'sometext'.
  • Also anything listed in the integrations section above!
  • You can also add multi-targets - that is, multi:TARGET_ONE,TARGET_TWO,... to have multiple targets required together.
    • For example: multi:PLAYER,PLAYER,CHICKEN will make the NPC angry at 2 players and a chicken if they are all together.
    • As another example: multi:npc:steve,player,healthabove:50 will make the player angry at the NPC named steve, any one player, and any entity with health above 50%, if all 3 are together.
    • Note that currently multi targets do not work with ignores.
  • You can also add all-in-one list targets - that is, allinone:REQUIRED_ONE|REQUIRED_TWO|... to have multiple target inputs that all must match for a single entity.
    • For example, allinone:player|healthabove:50 will target specifically a player with health above 50%.
    • As another example: allinone:chicken|entityname:cluckers|healthbelow:75 will target specifically injured chickens who are named "cluckers".
    • Note that incompatible requirements don't work together (for example, allinone:dolphin|parrot doesn't work, because no single entity is both a dolphin and a parrot).
  • Note that you can have allinone targets inside a multi target, but you cannot have multi targets inside an allinone target.
  • Also, do not put allinone inside another allinone, and do not put a multi inside another multi.
  • Note that to remove allinone and multi targets, you need to use the ID number (use /sentinel targets and related commands to find the ID), like /sentinel removetarget allinone:0.

Some random supported things

Integrating Your Plugin With Sentinel

If you're building a separate plugin you would like to integrate into Sentinel, you should:

  • Use Maven to link the project properly...
  • Use the Citizens repository:
        <repository>
            <id>citizens-repo</id>
            <url>http://repo.citizensnpcs.co</url>
        </repository>
  • And add Sentinel as a provided dependency (be sure to change the version to match the current version available):
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.mcmonkey</groupId>
            <artifactId>sentinel</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.6-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <type>jar</type>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
