Message Copy Quick Reference

Previous: Commands and Permissions　·　Next: CastResult Result Codes

Every player-facing message in QS carries a §6[QS] (success / info, gold), §7[QS] (gate failure, gray), or §c[QS] (error, red) prefix. This page lists every message verbatim so you can match the text you see in-game and pinpoint which piece of logic triggered it.

📌 {...} is a placeholder — it gets replaced with a player name / skill id / number at runtime. §x is a Minecraft color code.

🚫 Gate failure messages (when a player casts, prefix §7[QS])

The hints a player receives when a skill fails to fire, one per gate type (all failure hints share the §7[QS] prefix):

Gate / result (CastResult)	Message text
NOT_UNLOCKED not unlocked	§cSkill not unlocked
ON_COOLDOWN on cooldown	See cooldownInfo() below (normal / charge, one of two)
INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCE insufficient resource	§cInsufficient resource
CONFLICT skill conflict	§cSkill conflict
CAST_MODE_BLOCKED cast mode unavailable	§cThe current cast mode is unavailable (rarely triggered in practice)
CONDITION_FAILED cast conditions not met	§cCast conditions not met
SKILL_NOT_FOUND unknown skill	§cUnknown skill
MYTHIC_FAILED MM execution failed	§cSkill cast failed
NO_TARGET no usable target	§cNo usable target
SILENCED silenced	§cSkill silenced, cannot cast

cooldownInfo() for ON_COOLDOWN (one message, one of two)

While on cooldown only one cooldownInfo() message is sent, chosen by whether the skill is a charge type:

• Normal cooldown: §cSkill on cooldown §7{time} remaining ({time} is the largest of the skill / cooldown-group / GCD remaining)
• Charge skill: §cCharges §e{avail}§7/§e{max}; when not fully charged it appends §7(next charge {time})

A fully charged skill is never ON_COOLDOWN (it gets stopped by another gate), so there is no "fully charged but still shows a cooldown hint" case.

📌 Results that send no player message: SUCCESS / CHANNELING / INVALID_PAYLOAD / SCRIPT_BLOCKED (these fall into the else → return branch of notifyFail's when, recording only a trace and sending nothing to the player). CAST_MODE_BLOCKED has a branch but is rarely triggered in practice.

{time} is the remaining time, {avail}/{max} are the current / maximum charge layers. See CastResult Result Codes for each result code and handling advice.

⏳ Channel-related

Scenario	Text
Channel interrupted	§7[QS] §cChannel interrupted (movement / damage over threshold)
Bossbar progress	§eChanneling §f{displayName} §7{percent}%

🔔 Cooldown-ready hint (ready_notify)

A binary-cooldown skill configured with ready_notify.enabled: true pops a message in the actionbar plus a sound the moment the cooldown ends:

• Default text: &a{skill} &7is ready ({skill} = skill display name)
• message and sound can be overridden in the skill / config
• Not applicable to charge skills (charges have no single "ready moment")

---

🩹 Placeholder execution message (when MM has no same-named skill)

When a skill passes every gate but MM has no skill of the same name, a placeholder confirmation is sent:

[QinhSkills] skillName

Seeing it means the QS side is working — all that's left is to add a same-named MM skill in plugins/MythicMobs/skills/. See Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
