Method in Dialogue

Summary

Starts, or continues, execution of the current Program.

public void Continue()

Remarks

This method repeatedly executes instructions until one of the following conditions is encountered:

• The LineHandler or CommandHandler is called. After calling either of these handlers, the Dialogue will wait until Continue() is called. Continue may be called from inside the LineHandler or CommandHandler, or may be called at any future time.

• The OptionsHandler is called. When this occurs, the Dialogue is waiting for the user to specify which of the options has been selected, and SetSelectedOption(int) must be called before Continue() is called again.)

• The Program reaches its end. When this occurs, SetNode(string) must be called before Continue() is called again.

• An error occurs while executing the Program.

This method has no effect if it is called while the Dialogue is currently in the process of executing instructions.

Constructor in Dialogue

Summary

Initializes a new instance of the Dialogue class.

public Dialogue(Yarn.IVariableStorage variableStorage)

Parameters

Method in Dialogue

Summary

Returns the tags for the node nodeName .

public IEnumerable<string> GetTagsForNode(string nodeName)

Remarks

The tags for a node are defined by setting the tags header in the node's source code. This header must be a space-separated list.

Parameters

Returns

The node's tags, or null if the node is not present in the Program.

Field in Dialogue

Summary

The node that execution will start from.

public const string DefaultStartNodeName = "Start";

Method in Dialogue

Summary

Parses a line of text, and produces a MarkupParseResult containing the results.

public MarkupParseResult ParseMarkup(string line)

Remarks

The MarkupParseResult 's Text will have any select , plural or ordinal markers replaced with the appropriate text, following this Dialogue 's LanguageCode .

Parameters

Returns

The results of parsing the markup.

Method in Dialogue

Summary

Gets a value indicating whether a specified node exists in the Program.

public bool NodeExists(string nodeName)

Parameters

Returns

true if a node named nodeName exists in the Program, false otherwise.

Method in Dialogue

Summary

Returns the string ID that contains the original, uncompiled source text for a node.

public string GetStringIDForNode(string nodeName)

Remarks

A node's source text will only be present in the string table if its tags header contains rawText.

Because the Dialogue class is designed to be unaware of the contents of the string table, this method does not test to see if the string table contains an entry with the line ID. You will need to test for that yourself.

Parameters

Returns

The string ID.

Method in Dialogue

Summary

Loads the nodes from the specified Program , and adds them to the nodes already loaded.

public void AddProgram(Program program)

Remarks

If Yarn.Dialogue.Program is null , this method has the effect as calling SetProgram(Program) .

Parameters

Class in Yarn

Inherits from System.Object

Summary

Co-ordinates the execution of Yarn programs.

Method in Dialogue

Summary

Prepares the Dialogue that the user intends to start running a node.

public void SetNode(string startNode = DefaultStartNodeName)

Remarks

After this method is called, you call Continue() to start executing it.

If PrepareForLinesHandler has been set, it may be called when this method is invoked, as the Dialogue determines which lines may be delivered during the startNode node's execution.

Parameters
