[Solved] random in menu

[hadoc]

good, I wonder how I can load a random text in the game.
type array with random function and the would be text [array] ?

this is the idea (usin php)

Code: Select all

label start:

$targetArray = array("Sara","Cindy","Julie","Megan");
$rand = array_rand($targetArray);
$name = $targetArray[$rand];

    "I'll ask her... my name is [name]"

Test this and works, thx.

Code: Select all

label start:
$ name = renpy.random.choice(['Sara','Cindy','Julie','Megan'])

    "I'll ask her... my name is [name]"

but, the problem is that for every time you have to make a function always have to put all text ..

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ name = renpy.random.choice(['Sara','Cindy','Julie','Megan'])

    "I'll ask her... my name is [name]"

    menu:
        $ name = renpy.random.choice(['Sara','Cindy','Julie','Megan'])
        "It's a [name].":
             jump goo
        $ name = renpy.random.choice(['Sara','Cindy','Julie','Megan'])
        "It's a [name].":
             jump muu

is there any function to optimize this? or I have to always put all code random?

Will putting list of names in a variable work for you?

Code: Select all

label start:
    $ name_list = ['Sara','Cindy','Julie','Megan']
    $ name = renpy.random.choice(name_list)

    "I'll ask her... my name is [name]"

    $ a = renpy.random.choice(name_list)
    $ b = renpy.random.choice(name_list)
    menu:
        "It's a [a].":
             jump goo
        "It's a [b].":
             jump muu

If not, you always can make a function (kind of examples - http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =8&t=28532, http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =8&t=28145).
