v4.0.0 (Godot 3)

Breaking changes

• Dialogues now return an object when ended. This impacts how you determined if the dialogue has ended.
• Changed identifier for blocks when persisting so changing block order does not impact already saved files. This will impact variations and single use options on all existing save files.
• Variation standalone shuffle option does simple random and has no guarantee every item will be returned.

Added

• Assignment initializer operator ?=. It only assigns if variable was not set before.
• Resource loader and saver to simplify file usage.
• External variable support. You can set variables that are not included in the persistence object.
• Implemented helpers: Dialogue config, singleton and fixed dialogue bubble.

Changed

• Increment assigment now have default values. i.e. If you run set a += 1 when a is not set, it will be set to 1. Before it would break because value was null.
  • As + is also used for strings, this set a += "abc" also works.
• Return end object ({ "type": "end" }) instead of null on dialogue end.
• Changing block order in file does not impact persisted options and variations anymore.
• Make variation shuffle option be really random. There is no guarantee all items will be executed.
• The importer now saves a ClydeDialogueFile resource instead of PackedDataContainer.
• Improve dialogue examples.

Fixed

• Use correct fmod for a %= operations.
• variable interpolation with value "0" was not being printed, as godot interprets it as falsy
• Changing block order in file does not impact persisted options and variations anymore.
