Modify Cursor Speed (Power Type)

Scales how far the camera turns for a given amount of mouse movement, which works like a mouse sensitivity multiplier for each power.

Type ID: apoli:modify_cursor_speed

Aliases: apoli:modify_mouse_sensitivity, apoli:modify_mouse_speed, apoli:modify_look_sensitivity

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
`modifier`	Attribute Modifier	optional	A single modifier applied to a base of `1.0`.
`modifiers`	Array of Attribute Modifier	optional	Several modifiers applied to a base of `1.0`.
`horizontal`	Boolean	`true`	Scales turning left and right.
`vertical`	Boolean	`true`	Scales looking up and down.

The modifiers apply to a base value of 1.0, and the result multiplies the raw mouse movement. 1.0 is normal speed, less than 1.0 is slower and more is faster. A result of 0 freezes the view.

Turn off horizontal or vertical to change one axis only. A character with a heavy head could look side to side normally but struggle to look up.

Examples

Quarter speed, for slow and heavy movement:

{
  "type": "apoli:modify_cursor_speed",
  "modifier": { "operation": "multiply_total", "value": -0.75 }
}

Double speed while sprinting:

{
  "type": "apoli:modify_cursor_speed",
  "condition": { "type": "apoli:sprinting" },
  "modifier": { "operation": "multiply_total", "value": 1.0 }
}

Looking up or down is slow, but turning is unaffected:

{
  "type": "apoli:modify_cursor_speed",
  "horizontal": false,
  "modifier": { "operation": "multiply_total", "value": -0.6 }
}

Notes

This power runs on the client. It only affects the player who has it, so granting it to a mob does nothing.
Several active modify_cursor_speed powers stack multiplicatively.
The value is worked out once per client tick, not every frame, so it costs nothing while rendering.
Players without Apoli installed are unaffected. The server never falls out of sync because of it, since only the local view speed changes.
