110. Narrative Phrases - Sub-Phrase Consolidation

---

Previous Slide Next Slide

Phrase consolidation uses the "splitPhrase" method which is given a tree, phrase, and list of elements to "split off". In this example, we end up with the original wind_withGusts_phrase in which WindGust has been diabled. The "getStatDict" method examines the list of disabled elements and removes them from the "statDict". We also spawn a new phrase for WindGust. The "gust_phrase" is given as the "phraseDef" in the elementInfo for WindGust. The new phrase is created as follows:
      newPhrase = tree.addPhraseDef(phrase, elementInfo.phraseDef)
