How to get only visible text from a choice? #954
Description
Situation
- As I'm injecting in external dialogue at runtime, I have to maintain my own story history
Complication
As the Choice object doesn't expose the raw choice text, I have no easy way of omitting this from my story history
Example
If I have
* [I'm ready] -> choosePet
then calling this.activeStory.currentChoices[0].text returns "I'm ready" and as far as I can tell there's no metadata / way to get the original string ( [I'm ready] )
Additionally, as I can't seem to be able to get tags added to choices I don't have a clean way of marking doing
Workaround
Prefix lines with "no-history" and parse that out, the drawback is I have to overwrite regular Choice object's text property to my Ink wrapper as that includes the prefix
