LSDE Dialog Engine / BlueprintBlockBase

Interface: BlueprintBlockBase

Defined in: types.ts:242

Common properties shared by all block types.

Remarks

All five block types (DialogBlock, ChoiceBlock, ConditionBlock, ActionBlock, NoteBlock) extend this base. Use the type discriminant field to narrow to a specific block type in TypeScript:

if (block.type === 'DIALOG') {
  // block is DialogBlock here
  console.log(block.dialogueText);
}

The properties array contains designer-defined key-value pairs from the editor's block configuration panel. userProperties is a free-form dictionary for narrative-designer data that doesn't fit the structured property model.

See

• BlueprintBlock for the discriminated union type
• NativeProperties for execution-related properties
• BlockMetadata for non-logic display metadata

Extended by

• DialogBlock
• ChoiceBlock
• ConditionBlock
• ActionBlock
• NoteBlock
