Rule System

Rule System is an asset-based rules editor for Unreal Engine, built as part of Chronicle. It allows you to create custom Conditions and Callbacks that can be used in other gameplay systems.

Example

How To Use

Add a callback

1. Create the directory: Game/Rules/Callbacks
2. Right-click in the Content Browser within that directory
3. Select Chronicle → Rule Asset

Add a condition

1. Create the directory: Game/Rules/Conditions
2. Right-click in the Content Browser within that directory
3. Select Chronicle → Rule Asset

Modify rule

1. Each rule has a unique GUID for identification
2. Double-click a rule to modify its name

Integration

To integrate with runtime systems, use URuleAsset instances. These assets provide a structured way to define and access rules at runtime, ensuring consistent behavior across your dialogue system.
