Self Bientity Action (Entity Action Type)

Runs a bi-entity action with the same entity on both sides. It exists so you can reuse a bi-entity action in a place that only accepts an entity action, without writing a second copy of it.

Type ID: apoli:self_bientity_action (aliases apoli:self_bientity, apoli:bientity_action, shappoli:self_bientity_action)

Fields#

Field	Type	Default	Description
bientity_action	Bi-Entity Action	required	The action to run with the entity as both actor and target. action is accepted as a legacy spelling.

Example#

apoli:add_velocity in its bi-entity form pushes the target away from the actor. Pointing both at the same entity makes it a self-push, which is the shape you need inside a keybind power:

{
  "type": "apoli:action_on_key_press",
  "key": { "key": "key.origins.primary_active" },
  "cooldown": 40,
  "entity_action": {
    "type": "apoli:self_bientity_action",
    "bientity_action": {
      "type": "apoli:add_velocity",
      "y": 1.2,
      "space": "local"
    }
  }
}

It is also how you feed a shared bi-entity block — one you already use from apoli:action_on_hit — into somewhere that hands you a single entity.
