Powers on projectiles, and a lifetime for every shot

This is Apoli 1.106.0 and Origins 1.46.11. Origins has no changes of its own this time, and is built against the new Apoli.

grant_power on a fresh projectile

apoli:grant_power only worked on entities that already held at least one power. A projectile fresh out of apoli:fire_projectile, an item or a mob that had never had a power was skipped without a word, so a projectile_action that granted a model, a particle trail or a marker power did nothing at all. The projectile flew as its flat texture_location sprite with no trail, and a marker checked on impact was never there.

Every entity can receive powers now. The same fix covers apoli:grant_all_powers, the receiving side of apoli:transfer, and the KubeJS grantPower helper.

Projectiles wear every model

A projectile carried only the first geometry apoli:custom_model_render power it held. Give it a body and a layer of glowing eyes, and it drew only one of them. It now draws every geometry power it holds when it's fired.

max_distance counts the path, and lifetime is new

max_distance on apoli:fire_projectile was measured as a straight line from where the shot started. A homing projectile curling round its target, or a ball bouncing around a small room, could therefore fly forever without ever getting far enough away. It's now the distance actually travelled along the path, which is what the field always said it was, so a bouncing or homing shot with a max_distance ends sooner than it did.

lifetime is the new backstop: the projectile is removed after that many ticks in the air, whatever it's doing, and runs bientity_action_on_expire first. Without gravity, a slow shot under water would otherwise hang where it stopped.

"max_distance": 12,
"lifetime": 100

Frozen entities still flinch

An entity frozen with apoli:tick_rate or apoli:modify_tick_rate used to keep its red hurt tint for as long as it stayed frozen, since nothing counted the flash down. The flash now fades on screen as usual. Its half-second immunity after a hit still doesn't count down while it's frozen, and the tick rate pages explain what that means for damage.

Worth knowing

These aren't changes, but each of them cost a data pack an afternoon, so they're spelled out on the pages now:

• A grant's source shouldn't be an apoli:multiple ID. A multiple keeps everything held under its own ID equal to its sub_powers, so anything else granted under that ID is revoked again within a tick. See Choosing a source.
• The from_side of the bi-entity apoli:modify_resource only redirects from. An Expression in value reads the entity being written, so use actor_resource(...) or target_resource(...) to read the other one.
• Damage that has to land on a frozen entity needs a damage type in #minecraft:bypasses_cooldown.
