Targeters are used to determine what a skill targets when it is fired.

While targeters are technically optional (as the default targeter will usually be @trigger), forgetting a targeter is probably one of the most common mistakes people who are new to MythicMobs make.

When a targeter is used on the Skill mechanic, all of the skills inside of the meta-skill inherit the initial targeter. You can still overwrite the parent targeter for individual mechanics inside of the meta-skill by giving them their own targeter to use.

If entity targets are passed to a location-based mechanic, it will use the entity's location.

Some meta targeters also allow the mechanic to be casted "fromOrigin". This will change the starting location of the meta-targeter to be @Origin rather than the caster, which can allow for some complex effects, particularly when used with Projectiles.
