mpset {mp} {stable type} {stable} {recover rate} {drop rate} {charge rate}
- Model header command. Replaces mp, chargerate, and mprate (left in for backward compatibility). Also adds ability to set up different types of “rubber band” style mp gauges.

{mp} – Maximum MP for model (same as old “mp” command).
{stable type} – MP recovery type.

• 0 (default): Entity continuously recovers mp over time.
• 1: Entity recovers mp over time, up to {stable}.
• 2: Entity loses mp over time, down to {stable}.
• 3: Entity recovers mp over time if below {stable}, and looses mp over time if above {stable}

{stable} – Target MP amount (see {stable type}). Has no effect if {stable type} is 0.
{recover rate} – Rate mp recovers over time.
{drop rate} – Rate mp is lost over time.
{charge rate} – Rate mp is recovered while entity is charging.
