Bukkit help with spawning in player NPC

[Shattered]

I would like to customly add player NPC to my server in a plugin I am making, I am stuck on adding npcs of players to the server...

I want it to be when you type a command, for example /test it will spawn in an npc (of themself)where you are standing and it will despawn in 10 seconds....
I am stuck on spawning an an npc, and the part where it disappears after 10 seconds.

If anyone can help me that will be great

        NPC npc = myFancyLib.spawnNpc(location);
       
        new BukkitRunnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                npc.despawn();
            }
        }.runTaskLater(plugin, 20 * 10L);

You're gonna have to find a NPC library such as Citizens to use

Is it possible to make my own?

Is it possible to make my own?

Yes, but it requires extensive knowledge of NMS code and such.

Yes, but it requires extensive knowledge of NMS code and such.

Okay, lets say I use citizens.
What next?

Use the API and spawn NPC(s) and then run a runnable to remove it.

Actually, it doesn't require that much NMS. Just use wiki.vg, and before spawning the actually entity, make sure you add it to the playerlist.

Pretty sure this still works to create the NPC

NPCRegistry registry = CitizensAPI.getNPCRegistry();
NPC npc = registry.createNPC(EntityType.PLAYER, "MyNPC");
npc.spawn(Bukkit.getWorlds().get(0).getSpawnLocation());

Then do what RockinMC said.

Or you can use relatively simple NMS and not rely on a whole plugin to do it for you?
