Key Methods

How It Works

1. Passes flow through.
2. If text is non-empty, adds a textPanel UI element with header "Intro" on the main page.
3. If includeObjectives is true, calls mgr.modules.ui:addObjectives() (no change data - shows target objectives).
4. If includeRatings is true, calls mgr.modules.ui:addRatings().

Usage Example

-- Flowgraph chain:
-- [StartScreen Begin] → (build) → [StartScreen Intro] → [Screen Finish]
--                                        ↑ text = "Welcome to the race!"
--                                        ↑ includeObjectives = true

-- Equivalent UI element:
mgr.modules.ui:addUIElement({
  type = 'textPanel',
  header = "Intro",
  text = "Welcome to the race!",
  pages = { main = true },
})
mgr.modules.ui:addObjectives()
mgr.modules.ui:addRatings()

Key Dependencies

• mgr.modules.ui:addUIElement() - adds text panel
• mgr.modules.ui:addObjectives() - renders objectives list
