Ink integration
Add an integration with Inkle's open source Ink format.
I've been thinking about this.
One way to do it is for Box to take the names of an ink knot or a knot.stich and direct the flow based on player choice. The Choice Box then instructs the game to jump to a particular knot or knot.stitch location with _inkStory.ChoosePathString("myKnotName") and play through that. When that's over, the next Choice Box takes care of where the story should go next. We'd have to find a way to link ink's internal variables with FungusLua variables, so the branching can be as finely-tuned as in ink itself.
Alternatively, and I like this better, a blue Box can instruct the game to start playing the ink until the ink reaches -> END.
In both cases, we can take care of Stage changes, audio instructions and so on either with external functions or by observing variables or through keeping track of ink tags. I think that last one is the best solution.
I'll start working on something, but I'm not great at C# and would appreciate any help.
I have successfully hacked these two to work together. The way I did it is by using the standard ink integrator example, but then having the ink integrator script set a string variable in an Main flowchart to the current line, then sending that flowchart a message to trigger a conversation block using that string instead of the text field. You can then write your Ink in Conversation format (Character [fade/nofade] [wait/nowait]: Line...), and it will be displayed as desired. This is just the first step, you then have to hook up the Continue button etc, but it's possible.
