Examples

ExampleSkill:
  Skills:
  - vskill{s=ExampleSkill_<random.1to3>} @self

ExampleSkill_1:
  Skills:
  - effect:particles{particle=reddust;color=#FF0000;amount=10}
ExampleSkill_2:
  Skills:
  - effect:particles{particle=reddust;color=#FFFFFF;amount=10}
ExampleSkill_3:
  Skills:
  - effect:particles{particle=reddust;color=#00FF00;amount=10}

In the example, the ExampleSkill metaskill, once triggered, will execute a skill whose name is composed of ExampleSkill_ and a randomly generated number between 1 and 3.

Example_StanceSkill:
  Skills:
  - vskill{s=ExampleMob_<caster.stance>_<random.1to2>} @self

In this example, the VariableSkill is being used to quickly create some stance-based skills without the need to use any stance conditions and the like

Example_VariablePlaceholder:
  Skills:
  - vskill{s=Fireball_<skill.var.fireballtype>} @self

In this example, the VariableSkill mechanic will execute a metaskill whose name depends on some skill-scoped variables that has been set earlier on
