character-invitation

What problem does it solve?

This system handles propositions between characters that require a reflection delay before a response, enabling complex social interactions within a Unity project.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Template Method pattern orchestrates the general flow (Talk -> Wait -> Evaluate -> Respond) across invitations.
• Abstract InteractionInvitation and concrete subclasses (e.g., InteractionJoinParty) implement mandatory methods like CanExecute(), GetInvitationMessage(), and OnAccepted(), plus optional overrides such as GetAcceptMessage() / GetRefuseMessage(), OnRefused(), and EvaluateCustomInvitation().
• The CharacterInvitation component handles receiving invitations, simulating thinking delays for NPCs, player input for players, and default probability behavior when custom evaluation is not provided.
• It supports dynamic behavior influenced by sociability and relationship metrics, with a deterministic evaluation path that can be customized per invitation type.

Quick Start

Instantiate an invitation subclass and call ReceiveInvitation on a target character to initiate the delayed invitation workflow.
