NPCs Module

The CloudNet NPC module allows spawning of fake-players for server selection.
CloudNet-NPC-Module-Example.png
Every NPC provides server connect methods either trough an inventory or through direct connect. NPCs can be managed with the /cloudnpc command.

NPC properties

Every NPC consists of the following properties, which can either be set on creation, or can be edited with the /cloudnpc edit command.

targetGroup ------------- The group services must have to make joining over the NPC possible
skinOwnerName ----------- The name of the minecraft profile the NPCs' textures will be fetched from (this is only done once, the skin won't change)
itemInHand -------------- The name of the Bukkit Material the NPC will hold in his main hand
shouldLookAtPlayer ------ If the NPC should look at the player
shouldImitatePlayer ----- If the NPC should imitate the player (attack animation and sneaking)
infoLine ---------------- The hologram which is shown above the NPC
rightClickAction -------- The action which will be executed when a player right-clicks the NPC
leftClickAction --------- The action which will be executed when a player left-clicks the NPC
Available actions are OPEN_INVENTORY, DIRECT_CONNECT_HIGHEST_PLAYERS, DIRECT_CONNECT_LOWEST_PLAYERS, DIRECT_CONNECT_RANDOM and NOTHING

Placeholders for the InfoLine:

%group% | %g% -------------- The targetGroup of the NPC
%online_players% | %o_p& --- The total amount of players which are only on services of the NPC targetGroup
%max_players% | %m_p& ------ The total amount of max players from all services of the NPC targetGroup
%online_servers% | %o_s% --- The amount of servers of the NPC targetGroup which are online
