If Else List (Meta Action Type)
Goes through a list of actions with conditions and runs the first one whose condition holds. It is a flatter way to write a deeply nested apoli:if_else chain.
Type ID: apoli:if_else_list
Only one branch ever runs. Conditions are tested top to bottom and the list stops at the first match, exactly like an if / else if / else if chain, so later branches aren't evaluated at all. Order your branches from most specific to least. With three apoli:health branches at >= 6, >= 12 and >= 18, an entity at full health still only takes the >= 6 one, because that is the first that matches.
To run several actions unconditionally, use apoli:and. To run every matching branch instead of only the first, use apoli:if_case. It takes the same list under cases (and still accepts actions), so switching between the two is a one-word change.
The kind of action each branch takes depends on the kind of condition:
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
actions | Array of objects | required | Each object needs an action and a condition. |
Examples
"entity_action": {
"type": "apoli:if_else_list",
"actions": [
{
"condition": {
"type": "apoli:health",
"comparison": "<=",
"compare_to": 6
},
"action": {
"type": "apoli:apply_effect",
"effect": {
"effect": "minecraft:speed",
"amplifier": 2,
"duration": 80
}
}
},
{
"condition": {
"type": "apoli:health",
"comparison": "<=",
"compare_to": 12
},
"action": {
"type": "apoli:apply_effect",
"effect": {
"effect": "minecraft:speed",
"amplifier": 1,
"duration": 80
}
}
},
{
"condition": {
"type": "apoli:health",
"comparison": "<=",
"compare_to": 18
},
"action": {
"type": "apoli:apply_effect",
"effect": {
"effect": "minecraft:speed",
"amplifier": 0,
"duration": 80
}
}
}
]
}This gives a stronger Speed effect the lower the entity's health is, in three stages: at most 3 hearts, at most 6 hearts or at most 9 hearts. The branches start with the lowest threshold, so an entity on 2 hearts matches the <= 6 branch and stops there, without also getting the two weaker ones.
