Chunks

A chunk is a collection of game logic game objects which are related. A named chunk, e.g. PlayerLance, often has special logic associated with it whilst using chunks purely as a logical collection of 'like' logics can also be used, e.g. Container.

Under a chunk you create Node children. A node is a specific logic piece like the ability to place a Spawner or create an Objective.

Property	Required	Default	Details
Name	true	-	Name of the chunk that will be used for the Unity game object
Type	true	-	Type of node
SubType	true	-	Subtype of chunk
StartingStatus	false	Active	Determines the starting status. Active, Inactive, Finished
ConflictsWith	false	[]	Sets which chunks would conflict with this one. Important for ensuring no loose ending conditions. This marks any objective in the conflicting chunk as non-primary to allow complex contracts not to be blocked with locked contract objectives
OnActiveExecute	false	[]	Sets which logic to execute when this chunk is changed from Inactive to Active. Currently supported logic is: Dialogue and SetChunkStateAtRandom as seen in the above example
ControlledByContract	false	false	Exposes the chunk to be enabled/disabled in the contract .json under 'chunkList'
Guid	false	-	Can be used to manually specify a Guid for use by other chunks, triggers, results or conditions
Children	false	[]	An array of Nodes that specify logic to execute

Chunk SubTypes

PlayerLance	Used to organise player lance spawning
DestroyWholeLance	Used to organise a 'Destroy Lance' setup
EncounterBoundary	Used to organise the encounter boundary setup
Dialogue	Used to organise dialogue
Placement	Used to organise placement related logic
Lance	Used to organise spawning of a lance
