STORYLINE IMPORTER is ready to use and easy to customize Dialogue System. This plugin is working in pair with Storyline Editor. Narrative elements can be created in Storyline Editor app and after can be imported to Unreal Engine via this plugin.

Mappings from Storyline Editor tabs to Unreal Engine Data Tables:

• Characters => DT_CharacterM

• Items => DT_ItemM

• Quests => DT_QuestM

• Dialogs => DT_DialogM

• Replicas => DT_ReplicaM

• Nodes (from Quests, Dialogs, Replcias) => DT_NodeM

• GameEvents (from all Nodes) => DT_GameEventM

• DT_GameEventMImpl accumulates unique types of Game Events used

• Predicates (from all Nodes) => DT_PredicateM

• DT_PredicateMImpl accumulates unique types of Predicates used

• DT_RichTextM accumulates different decorations in Storyline Editor Rich Text Boxes

Some of Data Tables above contains basic data and some allows customization. Hints for customization:

• DT_CharacterM has ActorClass field to link abstract character from Storyline Editor with Actor class that is used in Unreal Engine for that character

• DT_ItemM has ActorClass field to link abstract item from StorylineEditor with Actor class that is used in Unreal Engine for that item

• DT_GameEventMImpl has GameEventClass field to link abstract Game Event type from Storyline Editor with GE_Base subclass that executes logic for that Game Event type in Unreal Engine

• DT_PredicateMImpl has PredicateClass field to link abstract Predicate type from Storyline Editor with P_Base subclass that executes logic for that Predicate type in Unreal Engine

• DT_RichTextM can be used to apply decorations in Unreal Engine Rich Text Boxes according to decorations in Storyline Editor Rich Text Boxes

Plugin contains Blueprint Function Library and complete set of abstract classes and interfaces to build custom Dialogue System with Quest subsystem around Storyline Editor data:

• IStorylineSource is interface for getting Data Tables

• IStorylineContext is interface for getting/setting context of your storyline (it should provide data for Predicates check, apply changes from Game Events, store historical data for Dialogs, Quests, etc.)

• UStorylineServiceBFL is globally accessible Blueprint Function Library for main operations with imported data
