Description

Sends a signal to the specified targeter. Won't do anything when targeted at players. The signal can be composed of any string. The mob(s) that receives the signal can only act upon it if it has a dedicated "~onSignal" trigger in its skill arsenal (see examples).

The signal can either be matched by comparing directly behind the trigger (~onSignal:ping) or by the new lastsignal-condition.
