MythicMobs · VEngine

When MythicMobs is installed, VEngine registers two skill mechanics. Nothing needs to be configured: the console prints MythicMobs found: vengine and vengine-stop mechanics are available. on startup.

Playing an effect

SkeletonKingRoar:
  Skills:
  - vengine{effect=cosmic_gate;scale=1.5;duration=80} @self
  - vengine{effect=sphere;p.radius=3;p.points=240} @PlayersInRadius{r=10}

Option	Alias	Default	Description
`effect`	`e`	required	Effect name from `/ve list`
`scale`	`s`	`1`	Size multiplier
`duration`	`d`	effect’s own	Ticks. Formula atoms (single-shape effects) default to 60
`follow`	`f`	`true`	Entity targets are followed when the effect has a `follow:` block. `false` plays it where the entity stood
`p.<name>`	-	-	Sets an effect parameter, e.g. `p.radius=3`

The mechanic is also available as vfx{...}.

It works with entity targeters (@self, @target, @PlayersInRadius) and location targeters (@origin, @TargetLocation, @Ring). An effect plays once per target.
effect, scale, duration and p.<name> accept MythicMobs placeholders such as <caster.level> or <skill.var.size>. scale, duration and p.<name> also accept math, e.g. scale=<caster.level>/10 or p.radius=<caster.hp>/5.
Parameter names keep their case (p.majorRadius=2 sets majorRadius).
PlaceholderAPI placeholders inside the effect’s YAML are read for the target player, or for the caster when the target is not a player.

Stopping effects

- vengine-stop{effect=cosmic_gate} @self
- vengine-stop @self

vengine-stop stops the effects that the vengine mechanic played on the target entity or that the target cast. Without effect it stops all of them. Aliases: venginestop, vfx-stop.

A typical use is an aura for the lifetime of a phase:

PhaseTwoStart:
  Skills:
  - vengine{effect=crystal_ward;duration=6000} @self
PhaseTwoEnd:
  Skills:
  - vengine-stop{effect=crystal_ward} @self

Skills from triggers

Triggers can cast a MythicMobs skill when a game event happens, with or without a VEngine effect, and can filter by MythicMobs mob type:

king_fall:
  event: death
  effect: cosmic_gate
  skill: KingDeathCurse
  filter:
    mythic: SkeletonKing        # the victim's mob type

The entity of at casts the skill. For a fixed place (death victim, teleport from, a block) the attacker, killer or player casts it at that place instead.
@trigger in the skill is the other side of the event: the attacker when the victim casts, and the victim when the attacker casts.
filter.mythic matches the victim or player, filter.mythic_attacker the attacker or killer.

Without MythicMobs, triggers that use skill or mythic filters load with a warning and those parts do nothing.
