Copy Origin (Bi-Entity Action Type)

Bi-entity action — copies the target's chosen origin onto the actor's copy layer.

Copies the target’s chosen origin onto the actor’s copy layer. Because an origin is just a set of powers granted from its layer as source, this reconciles the actor’s to_layer to the copied origin’s powers in one action — replacing the old approach of scripting a /origin set command per possible origin.

This is the copy-only convenience over origins:transfer_origin: it delegates to the same origin-transfer core (which mirrors how apoli:transfer moves powers by source) with mode: steal, copy: true. Reach for transfer_origin when you also want to take the origin away from the target, or hand yours to them.

Type ID: origins:copy_origin — a bi-entity action.

Needs the Origins mod. Registered by Origins, not core Apoli. Both the actor and the target must be players. If the target has no origin (or it’s the “blank”/empty one) in from_layer, nothing happens.

Fields

FieldTypeDefaultDescription
from_layerIdentifierorigins:originThe layer whose origin is read from the target.
to_layerIdentifierorigins:copyThe layer set on the actor to the copied origin. Its powers are granted from this layer’s source, so clearing the actor’s to_layer (e.g. /origin set @s origins:copy <blank>) removes them again — the basis for a temporary copy.

Notes

  • The actor’s to_layer must exist as a real origin layer. The copied origin is applied even if the layer doesn’t formally list it, so a dedicated “copy” layer needs no per-origin enumeration.
  • Only the origin’s power grants are copied (via the layer reconcile), not live resource/cooldown values — the actor’s copy starts fresh.
  • To make the copy temporary, drive a resource timer whose min_action clears to_layer back to your blank origin.

Example

Used inside an action_on_entity_use so sneaking + using a player copies their main-layer origin onto your copy layer:
