YesAlready Integration for SND

This skill covers integration with the YesAlready plugin for automatic dialog and UI interaction in SND macros.

Source: https://github.com/PunishXIV/YesAlready/blob/master/YesAlready/IPC/YesAlreadyIPC.cs

Prerequisites

lua

-- Always check plugin availability first
if not HasPlugin("YesAlready") then
    yield("/echo [Script] YesAlready plugin not available")
    return
end

IPC API Reference

Plugin Control Functions

lua

-- Check if the plugin is enabled
IPC.YesAlready.IsPluginEnabled() → boolean

-- Enable or disable the plugin
IPC.YesAlready.SetPluginEnabled(boolean state) → nil

-- Temporarily pause the plugin for specified milliseconds
IPC.YesAlready.PausePlugin(number milliseconds) → nil

Feature (Bother) Control Functions

lua

-- Check if a specific feature/bother is enabled
-- name: Full type name of the feature (e.g., "YesAlready.Features.AddonMasterPieceSupplyFeature")
IPC.YesAlready.IsBotherEnabled(string name) → boolean

-- Enable or disable a specific feature/bother
IPC.YesAlready.SetBotherEnabled(string name, boolean state) → nil

-- Temporarily pause a specific feature/bother for specified milliseconds
-- Returns true if the feature was paused, false if not found or not enabled
IPC.YesAlready.PauseBother(string name, number milliseconds) → boolean

Usage Patterns

Check Plugin State

lua

function IsYesAlreadyActive()
    if not HasPlugin("YesAlready") then
        return false
    end

    local ok, result = pcall(function()
        return IPC.YesAlready.IsPluginEnabled()
    end)

    return ok and result
end

Enable/Disable Plugin

lua

function SetYesAlreadyState(enabled)
    if not HasPlugin("YesAlready") then
        return false
    end

    pcall(function()
        IPC.YesAlready.SetPluginEnabled(enabled)
    end)
    return true
end

-- Usage
SetYesAlreadyState(true)   -- Enable
SetYesAlreadyState(false)  -- Disable

Temporarily Pause Plugin

lua

function PauseYesAlreadyFor(milliseconds)
    if not HasPlugin("YesAlready") then
        return false
    end

    pcall(function()
        IPC.YesAlready.PausePlugin(milliseconds)
    end)
    return true
end

-- Pause for 5 seconds
PauseYesAlreadyFor(5000)

Control Specific Features

lua

function EnableSpecificFeature(featureName, enabled)
    if not HasPlugin("YesAlready") then
        return false
    end

    pcall(function()
        IPC.YesAlready.SetBotherEnabled(featureName, enabled)
    end)
    return true
end

-- Example: Disable a specific feature temporarily
local featureName = "YesAlready.Features.AddonMasterPieceSupplyFeature"
EnableSpecificFeature(featureName, false)
-- Do something
EnableSpecificFeature(featureName, true)

Pause Specific Feature

lua

function PauseFeatureFor(featureName, milliseconds)
    if not HasPlugin("YesAlready") then
        return false
    end

    local ok, result = pcall(function()
        return IPC.YesAlready.PauseBother(featureName, milliseconds)
    end)

    return ok and result
end

-- Pause a specific feature for 3 seconds
local success = PauseFeatureFor("YesAlready.Features.SomeFeature", 3000)
if success then
    yield("/echo Feature paused successfully")
end

Common Use Cases

Temporarily Disable During Sensitive Operations

lua

-- Disable YesAlready during manual interactions
IPC.YesAlready.SetPluginEnabled(false)
-- Perform manual operations
-- ...
IPC.YesAlready.SetPluginEnabled(true)

Pause During Specific Actions

lua

-- Pause YesAlready while performing a specific action that needs different handling
function PerformSensitiveAction()
    IPC.YesAlready.PausePlugin(10000)  -- Pause for 10 seconds
    -- Perform action that needs different dialog handling
    yield("/echo Performing sensitive action...")
    -- YesAlready will automatically re-enable after 10 seconds
end

Feature-Specific Control

lua

-- Disable only a specific YesAlready feature for a task
local feature = "YesAlready.Features.AddonSelectYesnoFeature"
IPC.YesAlready.SetBotherEnabled(feature, false)
-- Perform task where this specific confirmation should not be auto-clicked
-- ...
IPC.YesAlready.SetBotherEnabled(feature, true)

Integration with Other Plugins

YesAlready works well alongside:

•TextAdvance - for cutscene/dialog skipping
•Artisan - for crafting confirmations
•AutoRetainer - for retainer dialog confirmations
•Deliveroo - for GC turn-in confirmations

Best Practices

•Configure YesAlready rules in the plugin UI - The IPC only controls enabling/disabling, not rule configuration
•Use PausePlugin for temporary disabling - Automatically re-enables after the specified time
•Check IsPluginEnabled before assuming it's active - Scripts may run when YesAlready is disabled
•Use feature-specific control when possible - Allows finer control over which dialogs are auto-confirmed
•Test with YesAlready disabled first - Ensure your script handles dialogs gracefully when YesAlready is not active

Important Notes

•YesAlready does not provide IPC for dialog interaction - It works automatically based on its configured rules
•The IPC is for control only - You cannot use IPC to click specific buttons or enter values
•Feature names must be fully qualified - Use complete type names like "YesAlready.Features.FeatureName"
•PauseBother returns false if the feature is not found or not enabled - Check the return value for confirmation
