Overview

• Node Name: StartScreen Text Panel

Key Methods

How It Works

1. Passes flow through.
2. Skips if text is empty.
3. Determines the page: if header is "missions.missions.general.rules" or "Rules", sets pages = { main = false, rules = true }. Otherwise, pages = { main = true }.
4. Adds a textPanel UI element with header, text, experimental flag, and page routing.

Usage Example

-- Flowgraph chain:
-- [StartScreen Begin] → (build) → [StartScreen Text] → [Screen Finish]
--                                        ↑ header = "Rules"
--                                        ↑ text = "Complete 3 laps..."

-- Rules go to the rules page:
mgr.modules.ui:addUIElement({
  type = 'textPanel',
  header = "Rules",
  text = "Complete 3 laps under 5 minutes",
  pages = { main = false, rules = true },
})

-- Other headers go to main page:
mgr.modules.ui:addUIElement({
  type = 'textPanel',
  header = "Description",
  text = "A scenic mountain drive...",
  pages = { main = true },
})

Key Dependencies

• mgr.modules.ui:addUIElement() - adds the text panel to the screen layout
