This file contains information about major changes and features.

Upcoming (0.7)

  • Better (experimental) editor experience
    • Line numbers and compiler output within the script editor.
    • Option to write out raw sts script files when saving a script asset in the script editor.

0.6

  • Supertalk source data is now stored inside assets (editor-only)
  • Supertalk assets now show the original file content.
    • Assets from previous versions must be reimported for this to work (this only affects the ability to view source data, old script assets will still work fine)
  • An experimental editor for Supertalk assets has been implemented.
    • This must be enabled in Project Settings > Editor > Supertalk Editor. Restart the editor after changing this setting.
    • This also lets you create Supertalk scripts within the editor without having to import from an external file.
    • The editor is somewhat untested and due to how it works it is possible to lose script data. Be careful when enabling this option!
    • Old script assets must be reimported before they can be edited from within the editor.
  • Script assets can now be exported to text files if they were imported after this version.
  • Script assets are now compiled upon saving (incl. when packaging).
    • Old assets that don't have source data available are an exception to this.
    • This means that referencing a script that fails to compile will fail packaging.

0.5

  • Property-based variable providers
    • Supports passing any UObject to the Supertalk player and accessing properties on it from scripts.
  • USupertalkObjectValue now lets you access exposed properties.
    • Initial TMap support (only for maps with FString/FName/FText keys)
  • Added an editor-only "notes" field to FSupertalkTableRow

0.4

  • Function calls can now have variables passed to them as arguments.
    • This is somewhat hacky at the moment, still requiring arguments to be parsed out from a string. This functionality will eventually be rewritten.
  • Function-based variable providers
    • When a variable can't be found by the supertalk player, it runs these functions to allow them to provide it instead.

0.3

  • Choices can now have localization keys applied.
    • This has been implemented in a somewhat hacky way to get around limitations of the lexer.
  • Default localization namespace changed to Supertalk.Script.Default from Script.Default, to match documentation.

0.2

  • Parallel actions now use [ and ]
  • Queued actions now use { and } (this used to be used for parallels)
  • ( and ) are now for grouping expressions.
  • "Names" (unquoted strings/bare words) can no longer contain whitespace. If you need whitespace, use a quoted string.
    • Jumps and sections are unaffected - these can still contain spaces.
  • Basic expressions are now supported (==, ~ for not as ! is already taken, ~=)
    • Further logical operators will be added in the future. Math operators will come later.
    • Supported in if statements and assignment.
    • Not supported in formatting markup inside text.
      • This is unlikely to supported any time soon (if ever) as it would require either running the expression parser at runtime or pre-parsing text formatting and then modifying it.
  • Long-form if ... then ... else ... actions have been added.
    • Shorthand value? true, false conditionals have been removed entirely due to complications with expression parsing.
