Prevent Entity Selection (Power Type)

Prevents the player from targeting entities with their crosshair. Attacks and interactions pass straight through the entity to whatever is behind it, the same way apoli:prevent_block_selection works for blocks.

Type ID: apoli:prevent_entity_selection

Also answers to apugli:prevent_entity_selection.

Fields#

Field	Type	Default	Description
entity_condition	Entity Condition Type	optional	If specified, only entities that fulfill this condition become unselectable.
bientity_condition	Bi-entity Condition Type	optional	If specified, the entity only becomes unselectable when this condition holds. The actor is the player that has the power and the target is the entity being looked at.

With neither field, every entity becomes unselectable.

Examples#

{
    "type": "apoli:prevent_entity_selection",
    "entity_condition": {
        "type": "apoli:in_tag",
        "tag": "minecraft:undead"
    }
}

The player cannot hit or interact with undead mobs — the swing goes through them and lands on whatever is behind.

{
    "type": "apoli:prevent_entity_selection",
    "bientity_condition": {
        "type": "apoli:distance",
        "comparison": ">",
        "compare_to": 3
    },
    "condition": {
        "type": "apoli:sneaking"
    }
}

While sneaking, the player can only target entities within three blocks; anything further away is looked straight through.

This is a client-side decision — the selection is what the player’s crosshair is allowed to pick, so the power’s conditions are evaluated on the client that has the power. Conditions that depend on state the client does not have will not answer correctly here.
