Simple (Power Type)

Does nothing on its own. That is the point: because a power’s presence and its condition are visible to every other power, a apoli:simple power is the cheapest way to model a piece of state that other powers ask about.

Type ID: apoli:simple

Fields#

None. It takes the fields every power takes — condition, name, description, hidden and so on.

Examples#

The plain form. On its own it does nothing at all, but other powers can now test for it:

{
  "type": "apoli:simple"
}

As a toggleable flag. This is the common use — a hidden power with a condition, tested elsewhere with apoli:power_active, so the rule lives in one file instead of being copied into every power that depends on it:

{
  "type": "apoli:simple",
  "hidden": true,
  "condition": {
    "type": "apoli:and",
    "conditions": [
      { "type": "apoli:in_tag", "tag": "minecraft:is_undead" },
      { "type": "apoli:exposed_to_sun" }
    ]
  }
}

{
  "type": "apoli:action_over_time",
  "interval": 20,
  "entity_action": { "type": "apoli:set_on_fire", "duration": 4 },
  "condition": {
    "type": "apoli:power_active",
    "power": "vampire:burning_conditions"
  }
}

As a granted marker, with no condition at all. Grant it with apoli:grant_power and revoke it later; anything testing apoli:power_active follows:

{
  "type": "apoli:simple",
  "hidden": true,
  "name": "Cursed",
  "description": "Something is wrong with you."
}

apoli:dummy and apoli:nothing are this power. apoli:dummy is an alias kept so packs written for the original Apoli load unchanged. apoli:nothing is the power-shaped end of the meta type that also exists as an action and a condition, so “nothing happens here” reads the same wherever you write it.
