Next

Simply skips to the next action

Since Novely uses index in stories to load it is quite important when updating an already released game, if you are going to delete something, replace it with an action `next'.

Usage

engine.script({
  start: [engine.action.next()],
});

Example

When game was released, the script looked like this:

engine.script({
  start: [
    engine.action.say(
      "Jack",
      "Me and my boyfriend love each other, nothing can stop our love! 🏳️‍🌈"
    ), // index: 0
    engine.action.function(() => {}), // index: 1
    engine.action.say("Max", "Yes"), // index: 2
  ],
});

But then because of your government and laws, your game becomes banned.

If you just delete the line, as in the example below...

engine.script({
  start: [
    engine.action.function(() => {}), // index: 0
    engine.action.say("Max", "Oh no"), // index: 1
  ],
});

The dialog with "Max" now have an index of 1 instead of 2, the history will be loaded incorrectly, or a runtime error may occur at all when novely accesses a non-existent index.

Therefore, you should replace the deleted action with next:

engine.script({
  start: [
    engine.action.next(), // index: 0
    engine.action.function(() => {}), // index: 1
    engine.action.say("Max", "Oh no"), // index: 2
  ],
});
