Circular Reference Issues

[seraphki]

Sometimes I have options that circle back on themselves, and it looks like it might be causing an issue with the Hierarchical JSON output, I assume because it just recurses in on itself.

Do you have a version that is Plain JSON output only? I would suspect that this doesn't have the same issue, and I'm only using the Plain JSON anyway.

PS, Thanks for making this. I'm not too bad with parsers, but Javascript is a mystery to me. My writers really wanted to use Twine and I just needed some way to get that into Unity. JSON works out really well for me.

Hey @seraphki, sorry for the late response.

TwineJson generates two versions of output.

In one of them, it tries to build a hierarchical JSON. Circular references are impossible here, and in this case TwineJson will just ignore this output.

The other one is a plain JSON. This one will always be exported.

If you are not getting a Plain JSON output, I suspect this might be caused by another problem. (Probably Issue #10)

Please take a look at Twison, a similar project that may fit your needs. I am not updating this project really often, and honestly there are a lot of things to improve right now.
