Copy Origin (Bi-Entity Action Type)

Copies the target's chosen origin onto the actor's copy layer. An origin is a set of powers granted with its layer as the source, so this reconciles the actor's to_layer to the copied origin's powers in one action, with no /origin set command needed for every possible origin.

It is the copy-only shortcut for origins:transfer_origin. It runs the same transfer code, which mirrors how apoli:transfer moves powers by source, with mode: steal and copy: true. Use transfer_origin when you also want to take the origin away from the target, or give yours to them.

Type ID: origins:copy_origin

note

This action comes from the Origins mod. Both the actor and the target must be players. If the target has no origin in from_layer, or has the empty one, nothing happens.

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
`from_layer`	Identifier	`origins:origin`	The layer whose origin is read from the target.
`to_layer`	Identifier	`origins:copy`	The layer on the actor that is set to the copied origin. Its powers are granted with this layer as the source, so clearing the actor's `to_layer` (for example with `/origin set @s origins:copy origins:empty`) removes them again, which is the basis for a temporary copy.
`origin`	Identifier	optional	Copies exactly this origin.
`selection`	Selection	see below	Which of the target's origins on `from_layer` to read: `main`, `active`, `pool` or `all`.

Notes

The actor's to_layer must exist as a real origin layer. The copied origin is applied even if that layer doesn't list it, so a dedicated copy layer doesn't need to list every origin.
To make the copy temporary, run a resource timer whose min_action clears to_layer back to origins:empty.

Example

{
  "type": "apoli:action_on_entity_use",
  "bientity_action": {
    "type": "apoli:and",
    "actions": [
      {
        "type": "origins:copy_origin",
        "from_layer": "origins:origin",
        "to_layer": "origins:copy"
      },
      {
        "type": "apoli:actor_action",
        "action": {
          "type": "apoli:play_sound",
          "sound": "minecraft:block.amethyst_cluster.break"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

With this power, using another player copies their main layer origin onto your copy layer and plays an amethyst sound.

Picking which origin to copy

Like origins:transfer_origin, this action takes origin, which copies exactly that origin, and a selection that says which of the target's origins on from_layer to read (main, active, pool or all). Without either, it reads the target's chosen origin on from_layer, or that layer's swap pool when from_layer is itself swappable.

The copy brings the target's resource values with it, so a resource bar, cooldown or toggle arrives at the value the target has instead of its starting value. Stored apoli:inventory contents stay behind, since copying them would duplicate items.
