Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator
⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.
- The full rules are posted here: (https://legal.lemmy.world/)
- User Rules: (https://legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/)
2. Be kind and friendly.
- Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)
3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.
- If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)
4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.
- Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.
5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.
- We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (
text-to-image-pluginandai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?" - See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.
6. Search through the Community Before Posting.
- Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

This one works for what you wanted?

If so, allo was on the money, this is was done by placing the following in the script side of the HTML:
The reason for this spaghetti code, is mainly due to me not knowing the fine tricks of the custom Perchance notation, so the solution here is just treat this as a table matching exercise, where you have a "dictionary" where you can relate what the randomizer gives you to a link. Keep in mind that for this to work, in the Perchance code side of things there are only the enemies that have a link in the dictionary. You'd need to update both to make this work as intended.
Also, the reason for using promises here is because there is a delay from the execution of the randomized output with the generation of the image. If you try to execute them in normal succession, the code will fail. It's a dirty solution, but it seems to work.
But probably there is a more elegant way to do this, because strictly speaking, this required a lot of trickery and working around with the particularities from the randomizer, so I hope there is indeed a better answer! 😅
very nicely done!
It's also in a format where @Yeetus_McGee@lemmy.world could just add to the list on the left and the array of image links and it will work.
