name: SND YesAlready Integration description: Use this skill when implementing automatic dialog confirmation or UI automation in SND macros using the YesAlready plugin. Covers plugin control, feature management, and temporary pausing.

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

Copy-- 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

Copy-- 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

Copy-- 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

Copyfunction 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

Copyfunction 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

Copyfunction 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

Copyfunction 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

Copyfunction 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

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

Pause During Specific Actions

Copy-- 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

Copy-- 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

1. Configure YesAlready rules in the plugin UI - The IPC only controls enabling/disabling, not rule configuration
2. Use PausePlugin for temporary disabling - Automatically re-enables after the specified time
3. Check IsPluginEnabled before assuming it's active - Scripts may run when YesAlready is disabled
4. Use feature-specific control when possible - Allows finer control over which dialogs are auto-confirmed
5. 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
