I am trying to generate a type of quiz that when you click next it randomly pulls from a pool of questions. When I bracket the questions it skips right to the text of the first listed one., in this case #1 bla bla bla.
<p>You answered the question correctly. Good job.</p>
<p>Ready? [[Go]](ready).</p>
[[ready]]:
var randomnumber = function rng(min, max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) + min);
}
set ("Nextques", randomnumber(1,3));
Let's move on to number {Nextques}.
[[Next]]({Nextques})
[[1]]:
@clear
bla bla bla
[[2]]:
@clear
yo yo yo
[[3]]:
@clear
yes yes yes
Should
set ("Nextques", randomnumber(1,3));
be
squiffy.set("Nextques", randomnumber(1,3));
?
It works fine when I use it in my game for money, like this below but I can't get it to work to pull random questions.
<p>You have survived that encounter. Good job. You are alive, for now.</p>
<p>You search the dead man and find some [[cash]](deadmoney1).</p>
[[deadmoney1]]:
var randomnumber = function rng(min, max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) + min);
}
set ("Deadcash1", randomnumber(2000,3000));
set ("money", get("money") + get("Deadcash1"));
You found {Deadcash1} bucks. Hmmm, maybe it pays to be bad.<br>
<b>Money = {money}</b><br>
[[Continue]](moneytime)
I had to add the first two lines so it would start me at "You answered the question correctly."
I changed up your Next section, adding a passage which uses JS to find the variable:
[[Next]]:
squiffy.story.go(squiffy.get('Nextques'));
This works for me:
@start thisPart
[[thisPart]]:
<p>You answered the question correctly. Good job.</p>
<p>Ready? [[Go]](ready).</p>
[[ready]]:
var randomnumber = function rng(min, max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * max) + min;
}
set ("Nextques", randomnumber(1,3));
Let's move on to number {Nextques}.
[[Next]]
[[Next]]:
squiffy.story.go(squiffy.get('Nextques'));
[[1]]:
@clear
bla bla bla
[[2]]:
@clear
yo yo yo
[[3]]:
@clear
yes yes yes
Oh, yeah...
I also changed your random integer function because it was only choosing between 1 and 2 with max-min in there.
var randomnumber = function rng(min, max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * max) + min;
}
K.V. This is awesome. Thank you. On my phone now but will try when I get home.
And as far as the random integer function, that's weird. I use it to give a value, in the example I used it was money, and it gives random between the two values. Helps if a player takes the exact same route, they can still have a different outcome with a second playthrough. But I will surely check out your work as it always proves amazing.
I will let you know the final verdict when I get home. 👍🏽
Well, thank you, kindly (but you're overrating me, hehehe).
return Math.floor(Math.random() * max) + min;
I got that from here:
https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_random.asp
Looking at the last few examples now, I can't tell you the difference between these two:
return Math.floor(Math.random() * max) + min;
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) ) + min;
Very nice, worked great for me. Adding the @start with a link help make it start where it was supposed to. Without it it kept going straight to the first question. And I changed the integer as well. It would only give me questions 1 and 2.
Thank you very much
