Simple (Power Type)

Does nothing on its own. A power's presence and its condition are visible to every other power, so an 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, such as condition, name, description and hidden.

Examples

The plain form. It does nothing at all, but other powers can test for it:

{
  "type": "apoli:simple"
}

A flag that switches on and off. 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" }
    ]
  }
}

A power that depends on the flag:

{
  "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"
  }
}

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

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