Selector
Graph context-menu category: Flow Control. Editor menu label: Selector.
Selector node and dialogue graph example. Supplied product gallery image; any captions/overlays are promotional, not interactive controls. Chooses a connected branch automatically; it does not display player choices.
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| First Connected | First connected branch in authored order; ignores eligibility conditions |
| First Valid | First eligible branch in order; unconditional final branch provides a fallback |
| Random | Random connected branch; repeats allowed |
| Random No Repeat | Avoids the immediately preceding selection when alternatives exist |
| Sequential | Cycles in authored order |
| Shuffle | Uses connected branches in shuffled cycles; avoids boundary repetition when possible |
Conditions belong to First Valid behavior. Stateful mode memory belongs to the component and is included in captured narrative progress. Reordering branches can change the meaning of stored positions.
