Shoot

Effect:

Shoot projectile(s)

Attributes:

• type (string, default targeted):
  • targeted: monster will shoot at a player when nearby
  • auto: monster will shoot at a specified angle
  • forward: monster will shoot forward (monsters can have a facing based on certain behaviors)
• range (float, default 8.0): distance from a player at which the behavior will be activated (targeted only)
• numShots (int, default 1): number of projectiles in each shot
• cooldown (float, default 1.0): time between shots in seconds
• cooldownJitter (boolean, default false): whether to vary the cooldown by a random amount (50% to 150% of cooldown)
• projectileId (int, default 0): <Projectile id="x"> tag to use, describes the projectile properties
• childId (string, default empty): create monster of this type instead of a projectile
• angle (float, default 9): degrees between projectiles when numShots > 1
• predictive (float, default 0.0, between 0.0 and 1.0): the amount to which the monster attempts to predict where the player is going and shoot at its destination
• defaultAngle:
  • targeted (float, default 0): added to the target angle (30 aims 30 degrees right of the target, -20 aims 20 degrees left of the target)
  • auto (float, default 90): shot angle in degrees (0 or 360 = east, 90 = south, 180 = west, 270 = north)
• arcDegrees (float, default 0): for monsters with facing, the possible firing arc centered on the facing angle, meaning it will only fire if a player is found within it
  • Note: won't do anything if forward or auto is used for the shoot type
• blastEffect (boolean, default false): whether to show ConeBlast on shot
• offset (float, default 0.0): specifying the time after this behavior becomes active for the first time
  • Note: it is recommended that between offsets there are no intervals higher than 0.2 since minimum server intervals could otherwise result in stacked shots
  • Note: values not divisible by 0.2 will also lead to inconsistent intervals between shots as they are only processed every 0.2 seconds
  • Note: currently stuns and the enemy-off-screen bug can cause offsets to be ignored, can be worked around by using individual stages instead
