Display various kinds of timers on mobs.

Notes

  • Ghosts aren't available to have a timer due to the fact that there's no distinctive animation of when they're attacking. Ghosts can attack without any animation and that can often be noticed with Abigail.
  • Battlecries aren't added as timers as they're too random.
  • A mob doesn't always instantly use a cooldown if it is up. Some mobs try to sync their cooldowns up with their attacks(eg. Toadstool). Additionally, the timers don't account for off-screen mobs and are based on what the player can see, so you might not have an accurate cooldown if you're joining the fight late.
  • Some mobs have random cooldowns(eg. Mosling, Poisoned Canary,[spoiler]Ancient Fuelweaver's minions[/spoiler]) and some mobs have random attack delays(eg. Spider Warrior, Spitter, Dangling Depth Dweller, Sea Strider). Due to this, not all timers are accurate.
  • Crab King's cast time doesn't account for the amount of yellow gems he has due to the difficulty of getting that value.
  • This mod serves to help newer players learn to kite mobs and for the more experienced players to fight better against various enemies.
  • This mod gets most of the timers from the mob animations. If a mod modifies the animations by speeding them up then timers might become inaccurate.
