Parameters

Property in BasicBlock

Summary

Gets the destinations of this block - that is, blocks or nodes that may run immediately after this block.

Property in BasicBlock

Summary

Gets all descendants (that is, destinations, and destinations of those destinations, and so on), recursively.

{
            get; }

Remarks

Cycles are detected and avoided.

Property in BasicBlock

Summary

Gets the index of the first instruction of the node that this block is in.

public int FirstInstructionIndex { get; set; }

Property in BasicBlock

Summary

Get the ancestors of this block - that is, blocks that may run immediately before this block.

public IEnumerable<BasicBlock> Ancestors { get };

Property in BasicBlock

Summary

Gets the name of the node that this block is in.

public string NodeName { get; set; }

Class in Yarn.Compiler

Inherits from System.Object

Summary

A basic block is a run of instructions inside a Node. Basic blocks group instructions up into segments such that execution only ever begins at the start of a block (that is, a program never jumps into the middle of a block), and execution only ever leaves at the end of a block.

Summary

Adds a new destination to this block, that points to a node.

public void AddDestination(string nodeName, Condition condition)

Parameters

Inherits from PlayerVisibleContentElement

Summary

A command that will be executed.

public class CommandElement : PlayerVisibleContentElement

Inherits from System.Enum

Summary

The conditions under which a may be reached at the end of a BasicBlock.

The Destination is reached because an expression evaluated to true.

ExpressionIsTrue

Field in CommandElement

Summary

The text of the command.

public string CommandText;

Enumeration Member in Condition

DirectJump

Property in BasicBlock

Summary

Gets the collection of player-visible content that will be delivered when this block is run.

public IEnumerable<PlayerVisibleContentElement> PlayerVisibleContent
{
            get; }

Remarks

Player-visible content means lines, options and commands. When this block is run, the entire contents of this collection will be displayed to the player, in the same order as they appear in this collection.

If this collection is empty, then the block contains no visible content. This is the case for blocks that only contain logic, and do not contain any lines, options or commands.

To tell the difference between the different kinds of content, use the is operator to check the type of each item:

foreach (var item in block.PlayerVisibleContent) { if (item is
LineElement line) { // Do something with line } }

Enumeration Member in Condition

Summary

The Destination is reached because an expression evaluated to false.
