c# scripting execution with xna (actions take more than 1 frame)
- by user658091
I'm trying to figure out how to implement c# scripting into my game (XNA with C#). I will be using C# as the scripting language.
My question is, how to call functions that take more than 1 frame to finish?
For example:
class UserScript : Script
{
public override void execute(Game game)
{
//script must wait for dialog to be closed
game.openDialog("This is a dialog");
//script should'nt wait for this
int goldToGive = 100;
goldToGive += 100;
game.addGold(goldToGive);
//
//script should wait for cinematic to end
game.startCinematic("name_of_cinematic");
//doesn't wait
game.addGold(100);
}
}
I found that you can do that with yield, but I'm not sure if it's the correct way (It's from 2010, the article mentioned no longer exists).

Is yield the answer? If so, can anyone point me any examples/tutorials/books? I haven't found any regarding my situation.
If not, what approach should I take? or am I better off with multi-threading?
