⚄︎ 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.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

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-plugin and ai-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.

Hello guys, I'm making a character generator for an original project of mine

I tried to make an advanced hierarchy list but something isn't working My goal was to avoid the generator to assign a job to a kid but it seems I can't find a good working method for this What am I doing wrong?

`_output City: [city], Gender: [gender], Age: [age], Occupation: [(age== Baby) ? occupation.TooYoung : (age== Kid) ? occupation.Student : (age== Teen) ? occupation.Aprenticed : (age== Adult) ? worker-occupation.job (age== Elder) ? occupation.Retired]

city Aldebaran Karus Polaris Sirius Vega

gender Male Female Non-binary^0.1

age Baby {0-5} Kid {6-15} Teen {16-20} Adult {22-55} Elder {56-100}

occupation TooYoung Student Aprentices Retired

job reigns PW Entertainer Defense zones PS^0.2 Entertainer^0.2 Defense^0.2

sentence Constellation: [constellation] Gender: [gender] Age: [age] Job: [job]__`

You need to first store the selected age into a variable before you use it for comparison. Like so:

output
  City: [city], Gender: [gender], Age: [a = age.selectOne] [agenum], Occupation: [occupation]


city
  Aldebaran
  Karus
  Polaris
  Sirius
  Vega

gender
  Male
  Female
  Non-binary^0.1

agenum
  {0-5}   ^[a == "Baby"]
  {6-15}  ^[a == "Kid"]
  {16-20} ^[a == "Teen"]
  {22-55} ^[a == "Adult"]
  {56-100}^[a == "Elder"]

age
  Baby
  Kid
  Teen
  Adult
  Elder

occupation
  Too Young   ^[a == "Baby"]
  Student    ^[a == "Kid"]
  Apprentice ^[a == "Teen"]
  [job]      ^[a == "Adult"]
  Retired    ^[a == "Elder"]

The ^[a == "Baby"] syntax is called Dynamic Odds, which is better for multiple if elses/ternary.

Thank you so much for this!!

I still need a little help How come do I get this error? With any list I add/create

You might have not indented it properly. It should have two spaces per indentation. You can click on the line then hit shift+tab to unindent it, then tab to indent it.
