Decision Tree: Logic

In the context of a decision tree, logic helps to create different paths or outcomes that the story might follow depending on user interactions or predefined criteria.

Logic Nodes are specific points within a decision tree where these conditions are evaluated, and the story can branch into different directions based on the outcomes of the logic applied.

How to add Logic?

There are 2 ways to add logic to the decision tree:

1. Within Decision tree page

   1. Decision tree page > Top Middle Navigation > + Logic

   2. Decision tree page > Scene Thumbnail > Arrow Down Icon > Add > Add a Logic

There are two ways you can tell a story

• Linear stories provide a preset path for users.

• Interactive stories require logic. At least 2 logic paths (conditions) are required to make story interactive. Essentially, you are providing multiple choices for your users to make. To make a story interactive, you can

  • Add several new logic paths by clicking on '+' sign at the top left corner

  • Duplicate the logic path by clicking on 'duplicate icon' in the top right corner of the logic path window.

Define Logic Type: There are 3 types of logic

1. Touch: Assigned to user touch interaction

• Specify Asset category

• Specify Asset affected

• Interaction Type: Choose how the user will interact

  • Swipe

  • Tap

• Interaction Decision

  • Swipe (Up, Right, Left, Down)

  • Tap (Tap, Double Tap, Triple Tap, Hold)

• Path

  • New Duplicated Scene > brings you to to duplicated where the activity starts from the beginning of the scene. To be able to continue from where the prior scene ended - select follow up scene.

  • New Empty Scene > brings you to an empty scene

  • New Follow Up Scene > enables you to sequentially follow up one scene with another. Where your new scene begins at the point where prior scene ended.

  • Existing Scene > brings you back to the selected scene

  • Hyperlink > insert the link to external source. (Note: make sure the link format is fully copied and includes https:// )

    • Provide the link in the box

1. Probability: Assign probabilities to different outcomes.

• Define Number of conditions and potential outcome per condition number

• Percentage

• Path

  • New Duplicated Scene

  • New Empty Scene

  • New Follow Up Scene

  • Existing Scene # > Brings you back to the selected scene

1. Verbal: Set conditions based on verbal inputs or other conditions.

Define Number of conditions and potential outcome per condition number

• Condition - verbal:

  • Yes

  • No

  • True

  • False

  • Right

  • Wrong

• Path

  • New Duplicated Scene

  • New Empty Scene

  • New Follow Up Scene

  • Existing Scene # > Brings you back to the selected scene

Click `Save` to apply the logic settings. Upon clicking `Save`, the logic is applied, and new scenes are created based on the defined conditions.
