Suggestion: Spy chickens

[Leech]

If this would even be possible.. You could make it so if you have a dog sitting on your Territories property and someone not on your friends list or someone not in your town entered your house the dog would automatically attack.

I looked into this briefly, the wolf AI is a mess, I doubt it's possible to do without a lot of work

Sloppy code takes a sloppy fix. Although I'm not a great coder, I'll check when I get home

There's also a ton of confusing stuff about lava and pumpkins and some other mobs, it really is a mess.

[yottabyte]

The Bukkit API makes handling living entities much simpler though afaik. Just use like setTarget(Player) and all that good stuff.

Oh, that's much simpler, I've never actually written a plugin before so I have no idea if I will be able to do anything with it but it is so much more straightforward than modifying whatever notch has written. Although I really know nothing about how to make it work intuitively (link a toggle in the targeting of the wolf to the opening of a nearby door) but I suppose that's what thinking is for.

---

I think in a pseudo coding sense:

Code:

10 Get Nearby Entities within 10 blocks
15     If one or more of those Entities is a player then
20           Check if player is wolf owner for each player
25               If true for all players
30                   goto 10
40               Else SetTarget(Nearest non-owner player)
50    Else goto 10

To trigger the code could involve feeding a wolf something special (iron or apples etc) to start the "Guard mode" function for a tamed wolf.

No idea if that makes any sense though....

[Sir Prize]

A nice feature to add would also be to add a timer between the wolf noticing the player and reporting.
And in that time the player in question can feed it a steak or similar to make it go on standby for a set amount of time.

Yeah, that and a feature where a wolf has shorter vision when the player is sneaking. I don't have too much time but I've been meaning to try plugin writing for a while now. If I get something coded will you consider adding it to the server yotta? Or is guard dogs not something we would want for revamped?

[yottabyte]

I think it sounds like a pretty cool feature.

[partyars]

I think it sounds like a pretty cool feature.

Guard dogs is a good feature, but you should focus on finishing the current plugins first.

[Leech]

Ya, Yotta, we will all wait for you to get Revamped done first. Then, decide if you want to do it

[guthriearmstrong]

this is the wolf code it's in the TextureLavalFlowFX.java file for some reason:

But, of course! That explains why wolves seem so attracted to lava.
