Enum NarrativeFunction

}

The core narrative function taxonomy.

Narrative function is the most important abstraction in the engine. It separates WHAT narratively is happening from HOW it’s expressed in a specific genre.

Each variant returns normalized pacing, valence, and intensity values that the grammar system uses to shape output.

Variants

Revelation

Hidden information becomes known.

Escalation

Stakes or tension increase.

Confrontation

Two entities in direct opposition.

Betrayal

Trust is violated.

Alliance

Entities align interests.

Discovery

Something new is found or understood.

Loss

Something valued is taken or destroyed.

ComicRelief

Tension is broken with humor.

Foreshadowing

Future events are hinted at.

StatusChange

An entity’s position shifts.

Custom(String)

Game-defined narrative function.

Implementations

impl NarrativeFunction

pub fn pacing(&self) -> f32

Returns a normalized pacing value (0.0 = slow/deliberate, 1.0 = fast/urgent).

pub fn valence(&self) -> f32

Returns a normalized valence value (-1.0 = strongly negative, 1.0 = strongly positive).

pub fn intensity(&self) -> f32

Returns a normalized intensity value (0.0 = subtle/muted, 1.0 = extreme/dramatic).

pub fn name(&self) -> &str

Returns the snake_case name of this narrative function for grammar rule lookups.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for NarrativeFunction

fn clone(&self) -> NarrativeFunction

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for NarrativeFunction

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for NarrativeFunction

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for NarrativeFunction

fn eq(&self, other: &NarrativeFunction) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for NarrativeFunction

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
