If Case (Meta Action Type)

Goes through a list of actions with conditions and runs every one whose condition holds. It is the counterpart to apoli:if_else_list, which stops at the first match.

Type ID: apoli:if_case

important

Every matching case runs. All conditions are evaluated first, against the state as it was when the action started, and then every case that matched runs, top to bottom. Because of that snapshot, an earlier case that heals the entity can't switch a later case that tests health on or off.

tip

Use apoli:if_case when the cases are independent, such as applying each effect that currently applies, and apoli:if_else_list when they form a ladder, such as picking the first tier that fits.

note

The kind of action each case takes depends on the kind of condition:

Action typeCondition type
Bi-entity Action TypeBi-entity Condition Type
Entity Action TypeEntity Condition Type
Block Action TypeBlock Condition Type
Item Action TypeItem Condition Type

Fields

FieldTypeDefaultDescription
casesArray of objectsrequiredEach object needs an action and a condition. 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.
