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.

Field in Dialogue

Summary

The node that execution will start from.

public const string DefaultStartNodeName = "Start";

Constructor in Dialogue

Summary

Initializes a new instance of the Dialogue class.

public Dialogue(Yarn.IVariableStorage variableStorage)

Parameters

Method in Dialogue

Summary

Replaces all substitution markers in a text with the given substitution list.

public static string ExpandSubstitutions(string text, IList<string> substitutions)

Remarks

This method replaces substitution markers - for example, {0}

• with the corresponding entry in substitutions . If text contains a substitution marker whose index is not present in substitutions , it is ignored.

Parameters

Returns

text , with the content from substitutions inserted.

Method in

Summary

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

Parameters

Returns

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

Method in

Summary

Loads all nodes from the provided .

Remarks

This method replaces any existing nodes have been loaded. If you want to load nodes from an additional Program, use the method.

Parameters

Method in

Summary

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

Remarks

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

Because the 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

Summary

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

Remarks

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

If 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

Method in

Summary

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

Remarks

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

Parameters

Summary

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

Remarks

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

Parameters

Method in

Summary

Returns the tags for the node 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.
