Scripting Fundamentals

Get started with Yarn Spinner Scripting by working through the fundamentals in detail.

If you're here, you've worked through the Beginner's Guide, and setup the Yarn Spinner Editor, and you're ready to dive into the details of writing dialogue with Yarn Spinner.

This section of the documentation will take you through the scripting fundamentals:

• combining Nodes, Lines, Options, and Jumps for simple interactive narratives

• using Detours, Variables, and Yarn Spinner's Flow Control features for more complex interactions

• the basics of Commands and Functions in Yarn Spinner

• running options Once, and Line Groups for flexibility and control

Once you've completed it, you can move to Advanced Scripting.
