= Policy Creation Documentation =

== Overview ==
The <code>Policy</code> class is designed to create and manage policies within the system. This documentation outlines the <code>Create</code> method, detailing its purpose, usage, parameters, and return values. Policies are key components in systems requiring rules or guidelines that entities must follow.

== Create Method ==

=== Description ===
The <code>Create</code> method allows for the instantiation of a new policy with specified attributes, ensuring its unique presence within the system.

=== Signature ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
public static Policy Create(string policyName, string description, Sprite icon = null)
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Parameters ===

* <code>policyName</code> (string): The name of the policy, serving as a unique identifier.
* <code>description</code> (string): A brief overview of the policy, highlighting its purpose, application, and any important guidelines.
* <code>icon</code> (Sprite, optional): A graphical representation of the policy, useful for user interfaces or visual identification.

=== Returns ===
If a policy with the provided name already exists, the method returns the existing policy. If not, it creates, adds, and returns a new Policy object to the system.

=== Example Usage ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="c#">
using Nullframes.Intrigues;
using UnityEngine;

public class Runtime : MonoBehaviour {
public Sprite icon;

private void Start() {
CreateNewPolicy();
}

private void CreateNewPolicy() {
Policy newPolicy = Policy.Create("Economy", "Description", icon);

IM.Player.Clan?.AddPolicy(newPolicy);
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Remarks ==

* Uniqueness Check: Before creating a new policy, the method checks for the existence of a policy with the same name. This ensures each policy is unique within the system.
* Debug Logging: If a duplicate policy name is detected, a debug message is logged. This aids developers in identifying issues related to policy creation attempts.
* Policy Management: The addition of a new Policy object to the system facilitates the organization and management of policies. It ensures that policies are easily accessible and properly cataloged for reference and enforcement.
* Icon Usage: Including an icon with each policy can enhance user interaction by providing a visual cue. This is particularly useful in UI/UX design, where policies need to be represented visually.
