Summary

The auraType is similar to the auraName, but can be used to categorize/filter certain auras into 1 (debuffs, buffs, cosmetic, etc). This would allow the auraRemove mechanic to remove all auras that grant debuffs, without messing with the other auras.

Usage

The auraType can contain any string, just like the auraName mechanic, but can be used in multiple auras at the same time, to prevent them from overriding eachother.

An example would be - onDamaged{auraName=WEAKENING;auraType=debuff;multiplier=1.5} @target ~onAttack which will grant the aura like normally. To remove all the debuff aura types, it would look as follow: - auraremove{aura=ANY;auraType=debuff;stacks=10} @self ~onRightClick

Value

This would allow users to create purge effects that wouldnt mess with auras that provide positive or cosmetic effects.

For servers that dont use a lot of auras, removing auras by name shouldnt be an issue. For servers that use countless amounts of different auras, it would be a no-go to enter all of those different auras.

Priority

It's crazy how I haven't come across anyone else mentioning this, but a lot of RPG games I play have some sort of purge effects that would remove either all buffs or all debuffs from a target.

Implementation

I would think it would be similar to how the auraName option works, in combination with the custom damage modifiers. But instead of it actually having a direct purpose, it only has effect during the auraremove mechanic or in a condition.
