Dialogues/ScriptInstructions
Dialogue fragments can execute script instructions upon being reached.
Contents
Structure of an Instruction
An instruct is a single line of text in the following format:
Type: Expression
where Type is one of the following:
- Call: Call a given script function from the level script
- Set: Set the value of a variable
If the Type: part of the condition is omitted, it is assumed to be Call:.
Function Call Instructions
For function call instructions, Expression must be the name of a function in the level script which takes no arguments.
The function will be called, that's it.
Examples:
Call: OnSomeCoolEvent OnSomeCoolEvent
Set Instruction
For set instructions, Expression must be of the format:
VariableName = SubExpression
where VariableName is the name of a global variable (e.g. SomeState.bSomeValue) and SubExpression is a mathematical or logical expression.
Some examples of valid set instructions are:
Set: SomeState.bSomeValue = true // Set value to true Set: SomeState.bSomeValue = ! SomeState.bSomeOtherValue // Set value to the opposite of SomeState.bSomeOtherValue Set: SomeState.iSomeNumber = SomeState.iSomeNumber + 1 // Increment some number by 1
Multiple Instructions
Multiple instructions may be provided for a single fragment, each instruction separated by a comma.
