Scale (Power Type)

Resizes the entity for as long as the power is held. One power can drive several scale types at once, and the value can be an Expression, so size can follow health, a resource, or anything else you can compute.

Type ID: apoli:scale

Fields#

Field	Type	Default	Description
scale_types	Scale Type or Array of them	apoli:base	Which scale types this power multiplies.
scale	Float or Expression	optional	A straight multiplier. 2 is twice the size, 0.5 is half.
modifier	Attribute Modifier	optional	A modifier applied to scale (or to 1.0 when scale is absent).
modifiers	Array of Attribute Modifier	optional	Several modifiers, applied in operation order.

scale_type is accepted as a spelling of scale_types, and a pehkui: namespace resolves to the matching Apoli scale type, so a Pehkui-flavoured id like pehkui:height works.

The power multiplies; it never replaces. Two apoli:scale powers on the same entity both apply, and a /apoli:scale value set by a command multiplies on top of them.

Examples#

Twice as big while the power is held:

{
    "type": "apoli:scale",
    "scale_types": "apoli:base",
    "scale": 2
}

Shrink as you lose health, using an expression:

{
    "type": "apoli:scale",
    "scale_types": ["apoli:width", "apoli:height"],
    "modifier": {
        "operation": "set_total",
        "amount": "clamp(health / max_health, 0.35, 1)"
    }
}

Keep the hitbox alone and only change what people see:

{
    "type": "apoli:scale",
    "scale_types": ["apoli:model_width", "apoli:model_height"],
    "scale": 1.6
}

A scale that affects the hitbox moves the entity’s bounding box. Shrinking is safe; growing inside a tight space pushes the entity the way vanilla does when it stands up from a crawl.
