All Mechanics

Mechanics are the what of an effect line: the action itself. There are close to three hundred: every MythicMobs mechanic under its MythicMobs names and aliases, plus LodeEntities’ own (repeat, var, animation, spawner, …).

- potion{type=poison;duration=10s;level=1}  +onHurt @trigger

Rules every mechanic follows

Options go in braces right after the name, no space, separated by ;: damage{amount=6;ignorearmor=true}.
Names, aliases and option keys are case-insensitive. Damage{A=6} is damage{amount=6}.
A quoted value is unquoted: m="hi" is m=hi. Message mechanics take a bare quoted string: narrate "hi".
Durations take units: 40t, 2s, 1.5m, 500ms. A bare number is ticks.
Numbers take placeholders, ranges and sums: damage{a=<caster.level>*2}, summon{amount=1to3}.
Colours use & codes.
Every mechanic also takes the shared line options: delay, repeat, cooldown, chance, power and the rest.
An option a mechanic doesn’t read is reported by /le debug as a warning, so a typo like amont=6 doesn’t go unnoticed.

Behaviour that changed from older versions

If you wrote effects before MythicMobs’ skill language was adopted in full, these few names now mean what they mean in MythicMobs:

Line	Now	Before
`cancel`	stops the skill (`cancelskill`)	cancelled the event; use `cancelevent`
`forcepull`	teleports the target to the caster	pulled it in; use `pull`
`taunt`	raises threat and turns the target on the caster	set the AI target; use `settarget`
`particlecircle`	the animated orbital	a static ring; use `particlering`
`@target`	the caster’s AI target, else the trigger	the trigger; use `@trigger`
skill `damage`	doesn’t fire the victim’s `+onHurt` unless `triggerskills=true`	always did; `+onSkillDamage` fires either way

Addons can register new mechanics that work everywhere the built-ins do. See Extending the Effect Language.
