⚄︎ 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.

Dynamic Odds, Storing Selections, +Hierarchical Lists not working (perchance.org)

I genuinely cannot figure this out for the life of me. I don't understand why [brd] will output the name and the [brd] appearing at the end after the two line breaks is different from the first one. It should be storing the selection, but it isn't. Somehow the variant IS stored???

I also don't understand why [brd.name] isn't working. Might be tied to the issue I described in the paragraph above this.

As for dynamic odds not working...

It should be impossible for Okapi to be selected if the breed is Aberration, and yet.

Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.

Using breed.selectOne would only select norm, desliz, sdsw, and arcdst, which would then evaluate upon display. If you want to select an item under them, you need to select multiple times (breed.selectOne.selectOne) or use the select-leaf-plugin. Using the select-leaf-plugin would still apply the dynamic odds applied to each item.
