🤖 Agent Prompt

A field is a keyed bit of content stored on a node. Generally this is your text, audio, images and prefabs that are presented when a given storyteller node is active.

Lexicon Localisation #

Fields are Lexicon Fields meaning they can either be “literals” whose value is stored in the node its self, or they can be localized and thus looked up from the Lexicon database.

Text Fields #

The most common content is typically text and Ogham Storyteller expands what can be done with text in a few meaningful ways.

Links #

You may define links directly in your text using a markdown style syntax

[DisplayText](protocal://data)

Ogham Storyteller UI tools will present these as hyperlinks in the text. The protocal://data system decides what will happen when the player clicks the link.

Ogham://Option.Tag.Path

The main and most used protocol is Ogham://, this will search for the indicated tag path in the list of options on the current node and will invoke it. That is … clicking this link chooses that option.

Ogham is the only protocol that is automatically processed. Other protocols will invoke the appropriate events providing the (Protocol, Data) defined on the link.

Variables #

These let you display values from the storyteller state.

Tag Formatting syntax is documented in full, with a code sample per numeric type, on the Nodes article’s own “Tag Formatting” section — see there for the exact, current syntax rather than duplicating it here.
