Difference between completeDialogueU and completeDialogue?

Recommended Posts

Looking at the API it looks like they're identical with the exception of completeDialogueU not throwing java.lang.InterruptedException. Is it recommended to use one over the other?

 

completeDialogueU

 
public boolean completeDialogueU(java.lang.String... options)

Completes the current dialogue using the specified options when available.

WARNING - This method loops until either the player is not in a dialogue, the "Select an Option" menu does not contain any of the specified options, or an option selection event failed.

Parameters:
    options - The options to choose while completing the dialogue.
Returns:
    True if the player completed the dialogue successfully.

completeDialogU() does surround completeDialog() in a try/catch, but in doing so, consumes the current threads interrupted status, which is pretty bad programming practice.

onLoop() throws InterruptedException for a reason. Use completeDialog().

I believe the difference is that completeDialogueU is surrounded in a try-catch, while the other is not.

So you can use completeDialogueU without having to catch the exception yourself.

Thanks for the responses! I appreciate the insight.
