enemy: Represents the unit (ScriptUnit) of the monster.
ai: Represents the action(ScriptEnemyUnitAI) to be performed.
event: Identifies the logic to be executed.
AI_INIT(-1) : Runs when monster AI submitted for the first time, AI_UPDATE (0): Continues every 2 seconds, AI_ATTACKED (1): Runs once on attack, AI_DEAD (2): Runs once when dead
data: Only available on attack (event == 1)
Information such as damage, skill ID, and critical (true/false) can be can be checked on attack.
