Setting abilities for pets

Abilities can have attributes, such as:

• chance - chance of ability activating when triggered by owner

• cooldown - how long after activating ability wont be available (will be on cooldown)

Placeholders

You can assign who ability affects, be it owner (%owner%) or other player/entity (%other%). This way abilities are given towards the assigned player.

Example:

  effects:
  - 'POTION:HASTE:0:20 @Owner'

In this example, HASTE potion effect will be given to pet owner for 20 ticks = 1 second.

Another example:

  effects:
  - 'LIGHTNING @Other'

This example would strike lightning at other entity. E.g. when attacking mobs or players, the other entity would be entity getting attacked.

Placeholders
