Image Wheel

The Image Wheel provides a dialogue wheel with a light sci-fi appearance, and support for up to six segments. You can specify exactly which of the segment positions is used for an option in your Yarn scripts.

Automatic-Layout Dialogue Wheel

The Automatic-Layout Dialogue Wheel provides a dialogue wheel with a simple graphical appearance, and can, in theory, support as many options as you’d like, automatically adjusting to display them. You cannot force an option to appear in a specific place on the wheel.

The Automatic-Layout Dialogue Wheel, a black circle with an arrow, and eight options labelled Option 1 to Option 8 around it. Option 3 is highlighted in yellow.
