broadcast | boolean | false | If true, nearby mobs of the same type are told about the target. |
broadcast_range | number | 0 | How many blocks away the alert reaches. |
within_radius_event | ActorDefinitionTrigger | {"event":"","filters":{"AND":null,"NOT":null,"OR":null,"all":null,"all_of":null,"any":null,"any_of":null,"none_of":null},"target":"self"} | Event that fires when the target is within the radius. It is sent to others too when broadcast is on. |
priority | integer | 0 | Lower numbers run first: when two goals compete, the one with the smaller priority wins.Range: 0 to … |
