LxlpSkill Effects
Skill Effects (or effect mechanics) are a special type of mechanic specifically designed to create special effects. These are called just like any other skill mechanic in your mob's Skill List, or you can add them to your own skills and even combine them.
Most effects are able to target both Entities and Locations. You control what your effect targets using a Targeter.
Syntax
A lot of effects don't have any options. To call them, you just call the skill effect:name, for example:
Skills:
- effect:flames @target
- effect:lightning @self
- effect:ender @PlayersInRadius{r=20}
- effect:ender @PlayersInRadius{r=20}
- effect:particles{particle=reddust;color=#EE22CC;amount=10;speed=1;hS=0.15;vS=.15;audience=Target} @targetAudience
Audience arguments can be used to display the effect only to a specific group of players, rather than the entire server, by using the audience=<audience type> attribute in an effect mechanic and specifying an audience type to use. This can be useful in preventing too many particles from being displayed to everyone unnecessarily, and can reduce client-side lag to some extent.
The audience types are:
-
self/caster: the caster of the mechanic -
nonSelfWorld/nonSelf: every player in the world other than the caster of the mechanic -
target: the target of the mechanic -
world: every player in the world -
nearby: every nearby player -
tracked: every player who's clients can render the caster -
@Targeter: every player that the targeter targets
The default value is
nearby
Of particular relevance is the audience=@Targeter attribute, that allows any entity targeter to be used as the audience of the effect
Skills:
- effect:particles{particle=reddust;y=2;audience=@Owner} @selfEffects
