Other narrative features

Pause

After executing a # script, the system performs a continue to move to the next step. For example, in this case you will see the image and the dialogue text.

=== start ===
# show image alien eggHead
Hello, world!
-> DONE

You can use pause to stop the execution of the steps and set the dialogue text to empty.

The syntax is:

# pause

=== start ===
# show image alien eggHead
# pause
Hello, world!
-> DONE

Continue

As in the following case, when a choice is asked with a dialogue, the narration will have two passages, the first in which only the dialogue will be displayed and a second in which the dialogue and the choices to be made will be displayed.

=== start ===
Who are we going to rescue: the kitten or the wizard?
* [workplace_midground_kitten] 
    -> END
*  [workplace_midground_wizard]
    -> END

Instead of having two steps you can use <># continue to have a single step with the dialogue and the choices.

=== start ===
Who are we going to rescue: the kitten or the wizard?<># continue
* [workplace_midground_kitten] 
    -> END
*  [workplace_midground_wizard]
    -> END
