Logic's tips for Event System

Hello guys,
I worked on a peronal Event system to make my player interact with other npcs on map. The Event system implements a system of variables and switches to trigger the storyline.
Everything works, everything is done, the various commands will be called from a list of string.
For each string in this list, the Interpreter will call a specific function during the game (Moving an object, show a dialog and so on).
The problem, dear me, is the Interpreter itself. I want this "reader" to call the various commands one by one.
I tried with a coroutine but nothing, or maybe I scripted bad.
How can I call these methods, these commands in sequence, waiting for the previous one to be over?
Thank you very much!

 

nobody?

 

It sounds like you're on the right track. Make each function a coroutine. In your main coroutine, yield until the function coroutine is done. For example, roughly:

Code (csharp):

1. IEnumerator Interpret(List<string> commands) {
2.     foreach (var command in commands) {
3.         yield return StartCommandCoroutine(command);
4.     }
5. }
6.  
7. IEnumerator StartCommandCoroutine(string command) {
8.     if (string.StartsWith("MoveObject")) {
9.         return StartCoroutine(MoveObjectCoroutine(...));
10.     } else if (string.StartsWith("ShowDialog")) {
11.         return StartCoroutine(ShowDialogCoroutine(...));
12.     } // etc.
13. }

Consider it pseudocode above, just to get the idea across. I assume you'll have to do extra parsing to get the details for each command, so I glossed over StartCommandCoroutine.

 

That's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you very much TonyLi!
