    Plugin category: Fun / Mech

    Suggested name: SentryGun

    What I want: I'd like to be able to make a sentry gun, that would shoot other players and monsters.

    Building the sentry would be the same thing as building a snowman; building blocks in a specific order to activate (preferably including a dispenser). When built, it will announce to the user (or anyone near the sentry, whichever is more convenient)

    It will take 5 seconds to activate the sentry gun after it has been built.

    It will have a "kill aura" of a range of 10~20 blocks to shoot (range configurable maybe?), showing smoke effects (like what the dispenser normally does) everytime it "shoots" a player/monster.

    Sentry guns will have to be recharged with arrows (item configurable maybe?).

    A sentry will shoot 3 bullets before consuming an arrow (number configurable maybe?)

    It will deal 1 heart of damage per bullet, but at a fast rate (damage configurable maybe?)

    If the sentry is destroyed, it will blow up, further damaging players or monsters.

    EDIT: Similar to this plugin I guess, but I do not wish to use a full fledged, feature filled Heroes just for a sentry gun :/

    Ideas for commands: No commands for this plugin.

    Ideas for permissions: No permissions needed - everyone can build a sentry. But if you must,

    sentrygun.build - Be allowed to build a sentry gun.

    When I'd like it by: Soon, in 2 weeks?

    Sounds like a cool plugin if you have like a war or factions server. Although, you would have to place it on flat ground in order for the aroura to work.

    Can't the server check whether the sentry is floating or not, and then deny creation if it is?
    Floating sentries.. lol

    God mode enabled!

    1 hit kill, chain explosion.
    Sh*t, god help us.

    Seeing as how overpowering sentries can be, I guess that's reasonable :p

    Since snowmen/snowballs are useless have you considered just making snowballs deal damage, and buffing the snowmen?

    Caged snowmen would become turrets. Might be a simple way to get 80% of what you wanted.

    Yes, 80%..

    Though, how would I make snowmen's snowballs do damage?
    In addition, I liked the concept of you having to fill in different types of ammo, seeing as how snowmen has infinite.

    Search first! Heroes Skills by GalaranM.
    Just pick the "SkillTurret.jar" out of the downloaded zip-file.

    Superboop
     
  25. If the turret has a "1-hit-KO", can it be killed with a bow and arrow?
    Or is it just for swords?

    I think thats what the guy want, like the mcctf.com servers.

    I don't know what MCCTF is, but seeing as how people say it is, I'll just go with it..
    Give me the server IP and I'll check to see if that's what I want.

    EDIT: Similar, I guess.. though there are some differences (people building the turret structure, blowing up when destroyed, manual control not mandatory, etc.)

    Read first! As said in the OP, I did find that but I do not want to install Heroes just for a turret (the above has dependency on Heroes)

    Hero Stronghold has a Turret feature ( be aware this is NOT Heroes related it just shares the name and a developer)

    you can customize the damage!
    you can customize the materials needed to power it!
    you can customize the materials needed to place in world b4 activating turret!
    you can customize wether players can disable or destroy the turrets!
    you can decide wether it costs 1 arrow per many shots or 10 arrows per 1 shot

    You can also use this plugin to make regions like Hospitals (auto heal) or Inns (auto feed) and other more complex things

    As far as I can see, there are no limits on how many turrets players can make. Or is there?
    I'll still try this out though.
