15.3 Graphical Scenario Editor

The Graphical Scenario Editor offers several features to simplify the process of editing.

Highlighting

The currently selected module is highlighted.

Modules with associated errors are red.

Links

You can add a link using the small L in a square of an element, selecting a link from the
Links menu, or clicking a link on the Graphics toolbar.

To have a valid scenario, a series of links must connect the Begin block to the End block

Each element in a scenario can receive at most one input link (inbound arrow), and the
interface does not allow you to make one than one input link. This requirement makes the
graphical scenario compatible with the scripting language, so that the graphical scenario
.ugg file and its associated text scenario .uwbg file are always equivalent.

An If element, Else element, and Loop element have a Yes link and a No link. The Yes
link must lead to a terminator element:

The Yes link of an If element must terminate with an End If element.

The Yes link of an Else element must terminate with an End Else element.

The Yes link of a Loop element must terminate with a Continue Loop element.

The No link of an If element, Else element, or Loop element must not have a terminator
element and must be on the path to the End block.

You can delete a link using Links > Break link or the Break Link button.

You can flip a link direction using Links > Flip link direction or the Flip Link Direction
button.

You can label a link using Links > Link label or the Link Label button.

Links can only be horizontal or vertical. To make a diagonal, use two links through a
Connector.
