Change Resource (Entity Action Type)

Legacy action that changes the value of a apoli:resource or apoli:cooldown. Use apoli:modify_resource for new packs — Change Resource is preserved only for back-compat.

Type ID: apoli:change_resource (also accepted: origins:change_resource, both alias to apoli:modify_resource under the hood)

Why this page still exists#

In Apace’s Apoli, origins:change_resource came first; apoli:modify_resource was added later as a richer replacement. Many existing data packs cite the old name and the old field shape, so this rewrite recognizes both.

The runtime treats apoli:change_resource as a type-alias of apoli:modify_resource AND auto-translates the change / operation fields into a synthesized modifier. You don’t have to update old packs — they just keep working.

Fields (legacy schema, still accepted)#

Field	Type	Default	Description
resource	Identifier		The target Resource/Cooldown power.
change	Integer OR Expression		The amount; never exceeds the resource’s min/max when enforce_limits is true. As an Expression it is evaluated each time the action runs, with value bound to the resource’s current value.
operation	String — "add" or "set"	"add"	"add" translates to add_base_early; "set" translates to set_base.

Example (kept verbatim from Apace’s docs — still valid)#

"entity_action": {
    "type": "apoli:change_resource",
    "resource": "namespace:example",
    "change": 1
}

This adds 1 to the namespace:example (data/namespace/powers/example.json) apoli:resource.

change also accepts an Expression:

"entity_action": {
    "type": "apoli:change_resource",
    "resource": "namespace:example",
    "change": "namespace:example_max / 10",
    "operation": "add"
}

This tops the resource up by a tenth of its own maximum. value is bound to the resource’s current value, and <id>_max / <id>_min read any resource’s bounds.
