If Case (Meta Action Type)

Checks a list of actions associated with conditions, and executes every one whose condition holds. The multi-fire counterpart to apoli:if_else_list, which stops at the first match.

Type ID: apoli:if_case

Every matching case runs. All conditions are evaluated first, against the state as it was when the action started; then every case that matched runs, top to bottom. Snapshotting matters: an earlier case that heals the entity cannot switch on or off a later case that tests health.

Use apoli:if_case when the cases are independent (“apply each effect that currently applies”), and apoli:if_else_list when they are a ladder (“pick the first tier that fits”).

Depending on the condition type, a different action type is expected:

Action Type	Condition Type
Bi-entity Action Type	Bi-entity Condition Type
Entity Action Type	Entity Condition Type
Block Action Type	Block Condition Type
Item Action Type	Item Condition Type

Fields#

Field	Type	Default	Description
cases	Array of Objects (Data Type)		Each object has to have an action Action Type object and a condition Condition Type object. actions is accepted as a legacy spelling, so an apoli:if_else_list block can be switched over by changing only the type.

Examples#

"entity_action": {
	"type": "apoli:if_case",
	"cases": [
		{
			"condition": {
				"type": "apoli:on_fire"
			},
			"action": {
				"type": "apoli:extinguish"
			}
		},
		{
			"condition": {
				"type": "apoli:submerged_in",
				"fluid": "minecraft:water"
			},
			"action": {
				"type": "apoli:apply_effect",
				"effect": {
					"effect": "minecraft:water_breathing",
					"duration": 100
				}
			}
		}
	]
}

An entity that is both on fire and underwater gets extinguished and gains Water Breathing. With apoli:if_else_list it would only be extinguished.
