Response

A Response is the part of a Rule that describes what to do when the rule is triggered. One rule typically has many responses, which are run in order from top to bottom.

Typically, responses describe actions that change the state of the Deck. Some common uses for responses include changing the motion of the player, creating or destroying actors, adding to the player's score, or sending the player to another Card in the deck.

List of responses​

Castle will only show responses that are available for the Behaviors being used on the given Blueprint. For example, if the blueprint does not have Music, then the "Play this actor's song" response will not appear.

Some responses are contextual to the rule. For example, the "Stop repeating" response is only available if already inside a Repeat response.
