Line

Struct in Yarn

Inherits from System.ValueType

Summary

A line of dialogue, sent from the Dialogue to the game.

public struct Line

Remarks

When the game receives a Line, it should do the following things to prepare the line for presentation to the user.

1. Use the value in the ID field to look up the appropriate user-facing text in the string table.

2. Use ExpandSubstitutions(string,IList<string>) to replace all substitutions in the user-facing text.

3. Use Yarn.Markup.LineParser.ParseString(System.String,System.String,System.Boolean,System.Boolean,System.Boolean) to parse all markup in the line.

You typically do not create instances of this struct yourself. They are created by the Dialogue during program execution.
