So, how do we generate 10000 scenery objects with description?
Example:
Broken Stone Archway
Forgotten Woods Shrine
Ancient Ruin Pillars
So, the scenery object will be a three word phrase,
the first word is called a prefix
the second word is called a descriptor
the third word is called a noun
By understanding the terms for these words, we will know how
to ask the bot to generate our list of 20 items
So, we need 25 prefix x 20 descriptor x 20 noun = 10000 scenery objects
Go back to "generatescenery" function and type the following code
if (game.pov.parent.visited=false) {
CloneObjectAndMove (randomsceneryobject, game.pov.parent)
}
Create a room1 at south of room, and link them together,
playtest the game, you can see that both rooms have randomsceneryobject,
but the important thing is even if you visited the same room multiple times,
there is still only one randomscenery object
Now we will upgrade the generatescenery function and give them random names
if (game.pov.parent.visited=false) {
randomsceneryobject.alias1 = PickOneString ("Ancient; Broken; Crumbling; Weathered; Forgotten; Mossy; Ruined; Haunted; Deserted; Abandoned; Sacred; Hidden; Enchanted; Silent; Worn; Shattered; Overgrown; Mystic; Dusty; Sunken; Frozen; Burnt; Cracked; Withered; Rusted")
randomsceneryobject.alias2 = PickOneString ("Stone; Iron; Wooden; Marble; Shadowed; Golden; Silver; Ashen; Thorny; Hollow; Oak; Ivy-Covered; Bone-Laden; Muddy; Crystal; Thorn-Ridden; Leafy; Waterlogged; Forgotten; Misty")
randomsceneryobject.alias3 = PickOneString ("Bridge; Shrine; Well; Archway; Altar; Pillar; Path; Gate; Wall; Tree; Garden; Tower; Market; Forge; Throne; Statue; Cave; Fountain; Grave; Stairway")
randomsceneryobject.alias = randomsceneryobject.alias1+" "+randomsceneryobject.alias2+ " "+randomsceneryobject.alias3
CloneObjectAndMove (randomsceneryobject, game.pov.parent)
}
Playtest the game, now we have random scenery object generator,
but wait... that's not it, the hardest part is actually the description,
it took me very long to figure it out, if you are interested in the extra challenge, here you go
Upgrade the generatescenery function again, giving them descriptions that makes sense
if (game.pov.parent.visited=false) {
randomsceneryobject.alias1 = PickOneString ("Ancient; Broken; Crumbling; Weathered; Forgotten; Mossy; Ruined; Haunted; Deserted; Abandoned; Sacred; Hidden; Enchanted; Silent; Worn; Shattered; Overgrown; Mystic; Dusty; Sunken; Frozen; Burnt; Cracked; Withered; Rusted")

Congratulations, you have completed the tutorial or have copied and pasted the code
Remember, you can always "donate" your scenery object generator by posting the code in the forum to share with others,
state your theme as well and whether it have descriptions or not,
for example,
mine is medieval rpg game x 10000 scenery objects with description
👍👍
This looks cool. I'm bookmarking this to use if I ever actually make a game.
Very detailed from the looks of it...
but will the description change every time you look at the rock? or will it change for each playthrough?
IE: first time will it be an old weathered rock... next a mossy cracked rock... then a lichen covered rock?
Thanks KV
and nice to see darklizerd still alive
The description does not change everytime you look at the scenery object,
its description is attached to the cloned object itself,
even on next playthrough, the description would still be the same
The description I meant is when the players "look at" scenery objects,
if you are talking about the random scenery object names, then yes,
the names will be different every game playthrough
I am not sure if there is a definition for scenery objects,
but my "scenery objects" is simply to beautify the environment,
so that when player moves from room1 to room10,
he would have a more memorable pathway that he can recognize,
also it would further enhances the immersion of the game itself through simply display relevant theme scenery
If you do not want the scenery object to change every playthrough,
you simply need to create a scenery object and write the description itself,
no need for this complicated fuss that I coded,
but if you have a fat game with 200 rooms and gameplay code already done,
and you just want a quick help in decorating the empty environment,
then this scenery object generator could be your friend,
of course, you might want to change the object names and description into your game's theme
