Holy wall of text! :P I'll just clear up the confusion on a few things

Attackrange condition should help with the telekinetic hit trigger. If I remember correctly this was caused by the change that allowed left/right click triggers to work on AIR.

There is a damage.victim condition(along with attacker, radius and world) I believe damage.victim is the same as just using damage though.

There IS a cooldown condition but its slightly confusing. Here is the definition for it(and example)

"Add: cooldown condition eg. "cooldown: click.$p@5" gives a unique cooldown for the player ($p) that lasts 5 seconds (default cooldown is 2 seconds)"

Yeah, I should really stop talking about MobManager. But I don't find it confusing at all, just a lot of information to wade through. If you don't want to use it simply because it's confusing, then that's your choice. I suggest it so many times though, because it offers breadth and depth in dealing with mobs, in the same way that this plugin offers breadth/depth in dealing with drops. Anyway...

You could probably make a ticket about that "PROJECTILE_DAMAGE" trigger and changing projectile damage, though I don't know how likely it would be implemented given the scope of the plugin. Even though changing mob damage isn't exactly related to dropping stuff and/or executing actions, it could be handy to have around. However, I suspect that in order for the plugin to fulfill your request (of having a special type of ghast do more damage while "plain" ghasts don't), it would have to become unnecessarily complicated. Because it would have to track which fireballs came from which type of ghast. For tracking melee attacks, it would be much easier though.

Did you look at EpicBossRecoded? That might be helpful, but I don't know much about it. Just a suggestion. If after that nothing works for changing Ghast-fireball damage for you, then the short answer is that it's not possible to change the amount of damage a ghast does.

No, it's not (currently) possible to spawn already-hostile iron golems. I've never actually seen a single plugin do it before. Mobs (iron golems, spiders, etc.) have to be hostile to a target, so I can't imagine how a plugin would handle a hostile, yet target-less mob. Mind you that pig-zombies are special in that they have extra data that determines their "anger level". One workaround to add this feature would be to spawn an iron golem that would automatically target the first player that gets within a certain radius, but that might be an extremely clumsy approach.

For your "ANY_CREATURE" issue, I honestly have no idea, but try removing the "trigger: HIT" part (which doesn't make sense to me) and setting all those drops to "AIR" to see if that fixes it. For your cactus issue, I'm experiencing the same issue and already bugged Zarius about it. Try what Blacklands said, and specify the "attackrange" condition. I never noticed that in the docs myself, thanks for pointing that out. :D

Fortune/Looting does nothing if you've overridden all vanilla drops via the config.yml. If you don't override it, and still allow vanilla drops to drop, the enchantments will still work. Also, if you override it, but specify a drop as "DEFAULT", I believe it should still work, but I really don't know. That would be great to test actually; if after overriding drops, "DEFAULT" doesn't cooperate with Fortune/Looting, you should submit a ticket about it.

@elyssah

I've also no idea if the "leaves regrowing" thing is currently possible, because it's like using "replacementblock" and "delay" combined, though I think "delay" applies only to "drops". If it's not currently possible, I think it would have a good chance of being implemented, provided it's on Zarius's radar (if not, a ticket is a great reminder). When you do implement this, remember to make the cause of leaf-loss, for replacing leaves, as "BREAK", so that leaves only come back after players break them, and not after "LEAF_DECAY" or fire burning the block. Come to think of it, I don't recall of a trigger for when fire destroys a block...

@xXbeastifiedXx

One caveat is that "HIT" is currently telekinetic (as in, if you hit the target even from 20+ blocks away, it will still be triggered); I don't know of any currently solutions for that, but you could try Blacklands's suggestion of also specifying an "attackrange".

Also, there's no such thing as "damage.victim" from what I see in the documentation. If there were a "damage.victim", that would mean to damage them for a certain number of hitpoints, and would have nothing to do with lightning (and since you're already damaging the victim, a "damage.victim" parameter would be unnecessary). What you might've actually meant was "event:LIGHTNING", but that doesn't support targeting "victims", or in your case, the mobs that get hit.

In a nutshell, you should ask the developer to add in extra functionality to the "LIGHTNING" event that will allow it to target victims. Of course, I haven't been keeping up on the documentation lately, so what I'm saying could be outdated...

@Blacklands

Oh... now that I read the section on "delay" again I see your point. That explanation should be a bit clearer (as in, not using a word within its own definition). I don't know if it's currently possible to induce a cooldown, but I don't think it is. It could be an idea Zarius is currently working on (or forgetting about with all the features that need to be added). I also have no idea about "pset", since I can't find any documentation on it either. It's relatively new, so I think it still needs to be documented.

Well, I can conclude from all this convoluted text that I actually know nothing. Sorry I can't help you guys any further. :|

@semirotta

Unless ghasts use melee attacks (they don't), there is no way to make them stronger using only this plugin; you need a specialised plugin that will specifically change the projectile damage of ghasts. And having certain ghasts becoming stronger than other ghasts would possibly require yet another plugin.

I don't know if MobManager's damage multiplier applies to projectile damage too, but chances are that it does apply. That would be a good question to ask the developer though. With MobManager, you can also customise mobs in the fashion that you're trying to do right now (make special variants of mobs with different effects).

EpicBossRecoded is also a pretty good plugin for making special versions of mobs.

@Blacklands

I'm not very familiar with adding in cooldowns (the documentation calls it "delays"), but you could possibly specify something like this in your drop:

delay: 400

Since 20 ticks = 1 second, that there would mean 20 seconds. Delays (according to the documentation) means that drops won't drop until the amount of specified ticks have passed. If that doesn't work, I don't have any more advice for you. :P

@semirotta

It's "CARROT_ITEM" not "CARROT". While I'm being technical, carrots don't actually improve eyesight, unless you have a vitamin deficiency. But no one really needs to know that. :)

And that carrot-to-armour slot thing is clearly an issue of another plugin.

Also, it turns out I was right on "INCREASE_DAMAGE" not affecting projectile damage. It only affects melee damage. You need to get another (specialised) plugin if you want to change only some ghasts to dish out stronger fireball damage.
