_Custom Casting - Eniripsa96/SkillAPI GitHub Wiki
 |
Custom Casting uses a skill book (or other item you customize it to be) as the way to access and use skills. Left clicking while holding the book will bring up the "Hover Bar" which lets you hover over skills, see the Particle Preview effect, and then click again to cast the skill. Right clicking will bring up the "Instant Bar" which will cast skills as soon as you switch to them. Dropping the book (Q) will open up the "Organizer GUI" which lets players control where their skills are among those skill bars. |
 |
Each of the cast bars can have up to 8 skills placed in them for a total of 16 active skills. Since the skill bars also only show up when the player is trying to cast a skill, it still only uses up one slot of the hotbar when not casting skills. |
| ___________________________________ |
Skill icons are directly used in the cast bars so they can easily be identified. Also, any of the following details can be changed in config.yml under "Casting":
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| cooldown | Restricts casting too quickly, using the given number of ticks as a cooldown shared among all skills. Cooldowns provided by the cast skill will still apply to that skill normally |
| cast-indicator | Controls what the Particle Previews look like |
| slot | The slot that the casting book will be placed in |
| item | The icon used when the player has no available skills that can be cast, basically acting as a placeholder |
| hover-item | The icon for providing details about how the "Hover Bar" functions when players are in the "Organizer GUI" |
| instant-item | The icon for providing details about how the "Instant Bar" functions when players are in the "Organizer GUI" |
To use this casting method, open up config.yml, find the "Casting" section, set "enabled" and "bars" to true. If "bars" is set to false, Slot Casting will be used instead.
