public class ExecutingEntityTargetTargetingStrategy extends TargetingStrategy

A targeting strategy that resolves to the current target of the executing entity.

This strategy ignores the impact area and instead delegates to the executor's own target reference. It is useful for abilities that should be applied to whatever entity the caster is currently focused on (for example, a tab-targeted spell).

Note: if the executor has no current target, the returned collection will contain a single null element. Callers should be prepared to handle this case.

      public ExecutingEntityTargetTargetingStrategy()

      Creates a new ExecutingEntityTargetTargetingStrategy.

      The strategy is configured as single-target and unsorted, since the resulting collection always contains at most one entity (the executor's current target).
