Creates a new talk settings instance with the default values.

public TalkSettings()

Fields

EmoteCategory

The category of emotes that should be displayed as part of this conversation

public EmoteChoices EmoteCategory

Field Value

EmoteChoices

FailEmotion

A EmotionModifier that is added to the IsMain person if this talk action fails. The talk actions fails if the GoBadlyChance has been randomly reached.

public (EmotionModifier Modifier, int Amount, TimeSpan Time) FailEmotion

Field Value

(EmotionModifier Modifier, int Amount, TimeSpan Time)

FriendshipGain

The amount of friendship that can be gained at max. If friendship should primiarily be lost through this action (because it is a mean action, for example), set GoBadlyChance to greater than or equal to 1.

public required Func<ActionInfo, uint> FriendshipGain

Field Value

Func<ActionInfo, uint>

GainRomancePercentage

A function that returns what percentage (between 0 and 1) of FriendshipGain is added to the relationship as RomanceLevel rather than FriendLevel. If an interaction is romantic in nature, this function should return a value greater than 0. If this function is null, 0% of the friendship gain will be romantic.

public Func<ActionInfo, float> GainRomancePercentage

Field Value

Func<ActionInfo, float>

GainSkillOnFailure

Whether the GainSkillOnFailure should be gained on failure rather than success. This is useful for skills that are considered "mean", where the gained skill is mischievious etc.

public bool GainSkillOnFailure

Field Value

bool

GainedSkill

The skill that is gained if this conversation goes well. Higher levels in this skill also reduce the chance of the conversation going badly.

public (SkillType Type, int Amount) GainedSkill

Field Value

(SkillType Type, int Level)

GoBadlyChance

The chance (should be 0 or greater) that this action goes badly and friendship is reduced instead. Note that, for very good relationships, this value is multiplied with a value greater than or equal to 0.25. This means that, if an action should go badly with a very high chance, a value greater than 1 should be returned here.

public required Func<ActionInfo, float> GoBadlyChance

Field Value

Func<ActionInfo, float>

IgnorePriorityDecline

Whether the PassivePriority should not be modified based on the number of times this action has been executed recently. By default (ie when this value is false, which it is by default), the priority of a talk action declines with the amount of recent actions of this type (RecentActions) that have been executed.

public bool IgnorePriorityDecline

Field Value

bool

LoweredEmotion

An EmotionType that is lowered when this action is successful for both conversation partners. This uses LowerEmotion(EmotionType, float, float) internally.

public (EmotionType Type, float Amount) LoweredEmotion

Field Value

(EmotionType Type, float Amount)

OnFailure

An action that is invoked when this talk action fails. Note that this is only invoked for the main partner (IsMain), and it receives the Partner as an additional parameter.

public Action<Action, PersonLike> OnFailure

Field Value

Action<Action, PersonLike>

OnSuccess

An action that is invoked when this talk action succeeds. Note that this is only invoked for the main partner (IsMain), and it receives the Partner as an additional parameter.

public Action<Action, PersonLike> OnSuccess

The amount of in-game minutes that this action should last

public float TalkMinutes

Field Value

Methods

EvaluateFully(SocialAction)

Evaluates these TalkAction.TalkSettings fully from the perspective of the main conversation partner (IsMain) after a SocialAction is completed. This method internally calls EvaluateSimple(Action, PersonLike, float, float) using the passed parameters, but additionally evaluates information that can only be evaluated using SocialAction, like the GetSocialEffectiveness(ActionType) of a relationship. This method is automatically called by the main conversation partner (IsMain) in TalkAction.

public readonly void EvaluateFully(SocialAction action)

Parameters

action SocialAction

The action.

EvaluateSimple(Action, PersonLike, float, float)

Evaluates these TalkAction.TalkSettings from the perspective of the main conversation partner (IsMain) after an Action has completed. This method causes friendship and romance to be added to the involved people's Relationship, adds the GainedSkill etc. This method is automatically called by the main conversation partner (IsMain) in TalkAction.

public readonly void EvaluateSimple(Action action, PersonLike partner, float completion = 1, float effectiveness = 1)

Parameters

action Action

EvaluateValues(ActionInfo, PersonLike, float, float)

Evaluates these TalkAction.TalkSettings after an Action has completed.
