Custom AI

This page contains a list of all available AI Goals in MythicMobs. Check out the AI tutorial for information on how to use them.

Goal Selectors

Goal Selectors are used with the AIGoalSelectors field and determine what mobs want to “do”. Certain custom goals might not work if they're not included in the base AI of the mob you're creating. For example, a zombie won't be able to use the AI goal “EatGrass”, because a zombie would never use that goal in the first place. Feel free to experiment however!

Example:

SuperMob:
  Type: zombie
  Health: 200
  Display: 'Superb Zombie'
  AIGoalSelectors:
  - 0 clear
  - 1 meleeattack
  - 2 randomstroll

This zombie would attack players, and walk around randomly when not targeting an enemy.

  - 0 clear
  - 1 meleeattack

Try using this with the leapattarget goal

Seems to require a meleeattack/spiderattack goal as well to work properly
