Selection (Data Type)

A string saying which of a player's origins on one layer a type should look at. With swapping, a player can hold more than one origin per layer (a chosen origin, a swapped-in origin and a pool of origins they can swap to), so anything that reads or moves an origin has to say which one it means.

Values

Value	Meaning
`main`	The origin the player chose on that layer. This is the default almost everywhere, and the only one that exists on a layer without swapping.
`active`	The origin the player is wearing right now: the swapped-in one, or `main` when nothing is swapped in.
`pool`	The origins in that layer's swap pool, waiting to be swapped in, not counting the one being worn.
`all`	Any of the three. For a read it matches if any of them does, and for a transfer it means every origin found, not only the first.

Used by

origins:origin, for which of the player's origins the condition can match.
origins:transfer_origin, for which of the donor's origins moves.
origins:copy_origin, for which of the target's origins is read.

Example

{
  "type": "origins:origin",
  "origin": "origins:phantom",
  "selection": "active"
}

This passes while the player is wearing Phantom, whether it is their chosen origin or one they swapped in.

note

Left out, selection defaults to main on a normal layer and to pool on a swappable one, which matches where each kind of layer keeps its origins.
