[Mod] Advanced Guards [advanced_guards]

This mod is almost entirely based on the original Guards mod (see:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17483)
This mod adds guards! Guards that are your personal soldiers and you can control.
These guards are
not crafted, but they are created. To create guards, you need to put two blocks in vertical fashion of one of the supported materials:
- Tin
- Steel
- Copper
- Bronze
- Gold
- Obsidian
- Mese
- Diamond
Once you have placed the blocks, use a finalization staff to bring them to life! After that, they will follow your orders, which you can give using a war horn. You can order the guards to stand ground, regroup and follow you, or follow and attack enemies. You can also tell guards to not attack certain players with a manifesto document.

Special thanks to
KGM for the original Guards mod. This mod is entirely based on that mod, doing modifications to the original code. However, the largest part of the code is still his, and full credits go to him.

Note: This is the first mod I publish (while certainly is not the first I make!) so please, comments, bug-reports, ideas, etc. all are welcome and appreciated!

Yes, I tried to balance each soldier depending on the material. Tin are the weakest, in terms of HP and damage they can do, but as tin is light, they are very fast, attack quickly and walk fast. So the strategy for tin soldiers are like light infantry, they need to be many to be able to overwhelm!

Could you add a stand ground, but when they see an enemy, they go and kill them, and then regroup?

Yes, I believe I can do that. That would be kind of "watchful" mode. I also intend to add "defensive mode", where they stand ground and only attack back if attacked first.
Thanks for the idea!

I could, yes. Which other materials do you have in mind?

how about cactus guards?
they could be useless on attack but harm the the hitter if attacked
so less soldier but more guard
sort of purely defensive

Maybe mithril from moreores, or titanium from Aqua's titanium mod?

Maybe you could tweak more values ? Punching range, reload, damage, hp/damage quotient(for instance, I expect diamond to be killed easily, but strike very hard)
