# Yarn Spinner

Yarn Spinner is a powerful tool that lets you write dialouges like this:

```
-> What's going on? <<once>>
    Guard: The kingdom is under seige!
-> Where can I park my horse? <<once if $has_horse>>
    Guard: Over by the tavern.
-> Lovely day today!
    Guard: Uh huh.
-> I should go.
    Guard: Please do.
```

And it also has a visual debugger, works directly in Unity and many other great features.&#x20;

### Integration Steps

To integrate Yarn Spinner 3, you need to replace Text Animator's Typewriter Component with their one, made specifically for this integration.

{% hint style="success" %}
You will be able to use all Text Animator features (including the typewriter wait times etc.) while ***also*** having arbitrary waits and other specific features of Yarn Spinner.
{% endhint %}

You can read more here:

{% hint style="info" %}
Please let us know if it's working how you expected and/or if you'd like any new feature or improvement!! Cheers!
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are on older version of Yarn Spinner, please refer to their documentation to how the integration works! (Yarn Spinner supports both TAnim 2.X and 3.X, yay!)
