Narramancer Window

The Narramancer window is the hub for your game’s starting nouns, verbs and global variables. It is really the inspector of the Narramancer settings asset in Assets/Resources, so everything in it is saved with your project.

Opening the window

Open it from Window → Narramancer. It docks like any other panel, next to the Inspector or the Project window.

The Window → Narramancer menu also has Add Missing Saveables (for open scenes, or for prefabs) and Rebuild Asset Manifest. See Saving and Loading.

The Editor and Runtime buttons at the top switch between its two views.

Editor view

The Editor view sets up the game before it runs, in four tabs: Nouns, Adjectives, Verbs and Variables.

Tab	What it holds
Nouns	The nouns created when the game starts. The plus button offers Create new asset… (make a noun asset and add it here in one step) or Add Existing…
Adjectives	The properties, stats and relationships in your game. Create new Adjective… makes one; Add all used adds every adjective your nouns already use.
Verbs	ActionVerbs that run as soon as the game starts, right after the nouns are created. Drag a verb asset into the list, or use the plus button and Add Existing…
Variables	Global variables, with their types and starting values. See Variables.

Runtime view

In Play Mode, switch to Runtime to see the live table of noun instances and the global blackboard. You can inspect any instance, and add or remove properties and stats while the game runs. That’s handy for testing a branch without playing up to it.

From code

Everything the window shows is also available from scripts through one entry point:

var narramancer = NarramancerSingleton.Instance;   // exists once the game starts

From there you can find and create noun instances, read and write variables, and save and load.
