# Targeting and Special-Entity Triggers

Each section documents the current event context. PLAYER is the player credited with quest progress; TARGET is not automatically PLAYER. Missing values remain absent. All of these triggers observe progress and do not expose mutable damage/drop results.

## Configuration example

```yaml
source:
  trigger: target
  amount: 10
```

## `target`

Runs when an entity acquires a player target and records target tracking.

| Context              | Value                             |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Event / payload      | `EntityTargetEvent`               |
| Availability         | Paper and Spigot                  |
| PLAYER               | Player associated with this event |
| SOURCE               | Targeting entity                  |
| TARGET               | Quest player                      |
| LOCATION             | Player location                   |
| TRIGGER\_ITEM / slot | Absent                            |
| Extra context        | `target_reason`, `target_count`   |

## `untag`

Runs when a tracked entity stops targeting its previously recorded player.
