# Create your own Condition

Find the script **TemplateCondition** in your Project window (under **Scripts > Interactions > Conditions**) duplicate it and rename the duplicated file with your condition name \[YourConditionName]. Once this is done, open the file for editing.

Rename the class name from: 

```
public class TemplateCondition : S_AbstractCondition
```

to:

```
public class [YourConditionName] : S_AbstractCondition
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
**IMPORTANT: the name you gave to the file and the name of the class need to be the same.**
{% endhint %}

The whole logic of a condition revolves around calling the ***Validate*** function to tell the system your condition has been validated. Outside of the functions you see in the template, you will need to implement your own logic that will call ***Validate*** based on some requirements you defined.

You also need to fill up the three functions ***Setup***, ***Dispose*** and ***Reload*** with logic.

***Setup*** will be called before your condition is actually checked for validation. Use this function to prepare the things required for its validation.

***Dispose*** is basically the opposite of ***Setup*** and undoes what was done in setup so that the condition does not accidentally validate again.

Typically the ***Setup*** and ***Dispose*** are usually called in a loop if your condition is reloaded several times.

***Reload*** can have some custom logic of your choosing, but it is usually solely made for calling ***Invalidate*** which simply tells the system the condition is now ready for validation again.

You can then use your custom CONDITION inside any *Interaction* through the ***Add Component*** menu.
