Drops & DropTables

Multiple Drops

  Skills:
  - dropitem{i=droptable_name} @ThreatTablePlayers ~onDeath

In this manner, the mob will drop the droptable named droptable_name to every player in the mob Threat Table, effectively dropping it to every player that engaged the mob in combat

  Skills:
  - dropitem{i=droptable_name} @ThreatTablePlayers{limit=X;sort=HIGHEST_THREAT} ~onDeath

Where X is the number of top players you want being able to receive the drop.

While this method is not necessarily precise (threat can decay, among other things) it's extremely simple to implement and the precision is in an acceptable range

Specific Drops

  Skills:
  - dropitem{i=droptable_name} @ThreatTablePlayers{limit=1;sort=HIGHEST_THREAT} ~onDeath

While this method is not necessarily precise (threat can decay, among other things) it's extremely simple to implement and the precision is in an acceptable range

  Skills:
  - skill{s=[
    - skill{s=[
      - dropitem{i=droptable_name_1}
      - threat{mode=reset}
      ]} @ThreatTablePlayers{limit=1;sort=HIGHEST_THREAT}
    - skill{s=[
      - dropitem{i=droptable_name_2}
      - threat{mode=reset}
      ]} @ThreatTablePlayers{limit=1;sort=HIGHEST_THREAT}
    - skill{s=[
      - dropitem{i=droptable_name_3}
      - threat{mode=reset}
      ]} @ThreatTablePlayers{limit=1;sort=HIGHEST_THREAT}
    ]} ~onDeath

This way, the droptable droptable_name_1 will be dropped to the player that dealt the most damage, droptable_name_2 to the one that dealt the second most damage and so on.

This happens because every time the inline skill

    - skill{s=[
      - dropitem{i=droptable_name_1}
      - threat{mode=reset}
      ]} @ThreatTablePlayers{limit=1;sort=HIGHEST_THREAT}

is called, a droptable is given to the top threat, and then the threat against that target is removed, making the "next in line" to be considered the top threat holder.
So, in order to drop something specific to the drop 10 instead of the top 3, you just have to repeat that segment over and over.

If you have MythicMobs Premium, something like the following becomes possible

  Skills:
  - skill{s=[
    - skill{s=[
      - dropitem{i=droptable_name_<skill.var.itr>}
      - threat{mode=reset}
      ]} @ThreatTablePlayers{limit=1;sort=HIGHEST_THREAT}
    ];repeat=X;repeatInterval=1} ~onDeath

would also work, with X being the number of players you want to give the reward with minus one (so for top 10, X would be 9) and each player is given a droptable named droptable_name_Y, where Y is their place in the "leaderboard" (so first place would receive droptable_name_1, second place droptable_name_2 and so on)

  Skills:
  - setvariable{var=caster.lastplayer;type=STRING;val=<trigger.uuid>} @self ~onDamaged ?~isPlayer
  - dropitem{...} @UUID{u="<caster.var.lastplayer>"} ~onDeath ?variableisset{var=caster.lastplayer}
