Damage Would Kill (Entity Condition Type)

Simulates a hit against the entity and checks whether it would kill it. The simulation applies 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. It returns false if an apoli:prevent_death power would save 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, such as `minecraft:generic` or `minecraft:fall`.
`modifier`	Attribute Modifier	none	Applied to `amount` before the simulation.
`modifiers`	Array of Attribute Modifier	none	The same, for several modifiers.

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

Examples

A last-stand overlay that only shows 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
  }
}

A reflex that softens your landing only when the fall you are in would kill you:

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

note

The simulation doesn't spend armour durability, change Resistance stats, or run the bientity_action and self_action of the modify damage powers. It reads the world and never changes it. The one thing it can't see is a mod that hooks into the damage pipeline outside Apoli's own handlers.

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