Damage Would Kill (Entity Condition Type)

Simulates a hit against the entity and checks whether it would kill them. The simulation runs the same reductions the real hit would: apoli:modify_damage and apoli:modify_projectile_damage, invulnerability, shield blocking, the damage cooldown, armour, Resistance, Protection and absorption — and it returns false if an apoli:prevent_death power would catch the entity.

Type ID: apoli:damage_would_kill

Fields#

Field	Type	Default	Description
amount	Float or Expression	required	The raw damage to simulate, before any reduction.
damage_type	Identifier	required	The damage type to simulate, e.g. minecraft:generic, minecraft:fall.
modifier	Attribute Modifier	none	Applied to amount before the simulation.
modifiers	Array of Attribute Modifier	none	Same, for several modifiers.

The condition is false for any entity that is not a living entity, and false for an entity that is already dead.

Examples#

A last-stand power that only arms when the next 6 points of magic damage would finish you:

{
  "type": "apoli:overlay",
  "texture": "example:textures/gui/last_stand.png",
  "condition": {
    "type": "apoli:damage_would_kill",
    "damage_type": "minecraft:magic",
    "amount": 6
  }
}

Feather-fall reflex — soften your landing only when the fall you are in would actually kill you:

{
  "type": "apoli:modify_falling",
  "velocity": 0.02,
  "condition": {
    "type": "apoli:damage_would_kill",
    "damage_type": "minecraft:fall",
    "amount": "fall_distance - 3"
  }
}

Armour durability, Resistance stats and the modify-damage powers’ bientity_action/self_action are not run by the simulation — it reads the world, it never changes it. What it can’t see is a mod that hooks the damage pipeline outside Apoli’s own handlers.

The bi-entity version does the same thing with the actor as the attacker, so armour-piercing and attacker-side modify_damage powers are taken into account.
