Scripting | Program code, written in JavaScript, which makes changes to the text as an Adventure is played. |
Token | Numerical values which correspond to words, parts of words, and phrases, used by the AI to input and output text. Read more about tokens here. |
Story Card | A card of information located in the ‘Story Cards’ section of the plot components menu. Story cards give the AI contextual, limited-time information about something specific. A character, a place, a race, a faction, so on. Anything that doesn’t need to be known all the time can be a story card. Story cards are only used when the subject of the story card is mentioned in the story, using Triggers. |
World Lore | World Lore is the collection of every story card currently triggered in your adventure. If you have three story cards triggered, Joe, Jack, and Jack’s House, they are all grouped together under the header “World Lore:”. |
Triggers | Triggers are words that you put underneath a story card in order to know when to trigger it. For instance, if you made a story card for Joe, you would make the trigger be “Joe”. That way, whenever the story says “Joe”, the story card that explains who he is will trigger. Triggers should be something that will be said naturally by the AI. If you’re making a card for Jack Johnson, you may only want to make the trigger “Jack”, because it’s not often that the story will use his full name. |
