# Repeat (1.2.0+)

## Repeat

Executes nested abilities immediately, then repeats them for a configured duration.

Use this ability when an effect should keep running over time. For example, a death aura can use `repeat` outside `nearby_entities`.

```yaml
type: repeat
duration: 100
interval: 20
abilities:
  1:
    type: nearby_entities
    radius: 7
    abilities:
      1:
        type: potion_effect
        target: TARGET
        potion: SLOWNESS
        duration: 80
        amplifier: 1
```

### **Field Details**

```
