1.97.0: Macros

btw the jar has contents from latest github (version 1.97.0) but was compiled so it works with latest modrinth origins release

Doc

The Macros are defined as a power for the sake of convenience yet they aren't powers. They can be used in apoli:multiple and stuff but can never be granted or anything. They are read once and then removed internally.

The power (type is "apoli:macro")

This is where you define a Macro to use it later, Fields:

Field | Type | Description | Default
"parameters" | List of Strings | Parameters used by the macro (same as function basically) | All used ones
"value" | ANY Json | The json template to use for the macro | Required

Example:

"type": "apoli:macro",
  "parameters" : [
    "a"
  ],
  "value": {
    "type": "apoli:print",
    "text": "A macro with one parameter, [a]!"
  }

The usage (type also is "apoli:macro")

This is how to use the macros, instead of any object you can use a macro call, Fields:
Field | Type | Description | Default
"macro" | Identifier | The identifier of the macro 'power' | Required
"arguments" | Object that contains the arguments (see example) | The values to insert into the macro | Optional (Defaults to empty)

Example:

{
  "type": "apoli:action_over_time",
  "interval": 20,
  "entity_action": {
    "type": "apoli:macro",
    "macro": "test:macro",
    "arguments": {
      "a": "Greetings"
    }
  }
}

Notes

The macros can be used recursively (well not really): You can do A -> B -> C -> D and so on as long as you want, you can't loop tho: A -> B -> A is invalid!
