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.

  • 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.

Text to Image generator help (self.perchance)

Greetings, I'm working on my first t2i generator, and I'm in need of a little assistance.

I want to output 4 images with 4 different attributes for one of the prompt terms. Let's say shirt color. I understand that I could easily create 4 different outputs, but that would mean duplicating the whole prompt 4 times. I'd rather have it be more concise using one output and dynamically change on reload (with no duplicates).

A consumable list seems like what I would need, but it seems like this still requires 2 outputs?

This works, and outputs my 4 colors correctly with no dupes:

output1
  [c = shirtcolor.consumableList]
output2
  [c]

HTML:

[output1]
[output2]
[output2]
[output2]

I'd prefer it if I could get this to work with just one output. Thanks for any help or tips!

I'm not 100% sure if this answers your question, but:

Lists:

output
  [c = shirtcolor.consumableList, ""][prompt.selectMany(4).joinItems(", ")]

prompt
  a person wearing a [c] shirt

HTML:

[output]

And you can write [prompt], [prompt], [prompt], [prompt] instead of [prompt.selectMany(4).joinItems(", ")] if you want.

If you desperately want to squash it all into a single output list, you can do this:

output
  [c = shirtcolor.consumableList, ""]["a person wearing a [c] shirt".selectMany(4).joinItems(", ")]

But that's probably not a great idea. Hopefully that helps! Let me know if not.

@[email protected] Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated. 👍

Hmm... maybe I didn't explain properly. I tried your code and got weird results. Your output/prompt is concatenating the color list... which I don't want.

I'm basically trying to output 4 images with DIFFERENT prompts using ONE output. Here is my (almost) working generator: https://perchance.org/zh7u0fwp8q

As you can see, when randomizing, EACH of the outputs correctly outputs a distinct ethnicity and a distinct shirt color - with no duplicates.

It's almost perfect, but it's still using 2 prompts/outputs (because the consumable list seems to require it) which I think will be a problem if/when I set up a user input for the prompt.

I'm basically just trying to insert a single list item into the prompt... but don't want duplicates in the output which is why I thought consumable list was the way to do it. Is there some way to get/store the list items BEFORE inserting them into the prompt?

Try this snippet:

output
  [e = ethnicity.consumableList, c = shirtColor.consumableList, ''] [new Array(4).fill(0).map(a => `<div>${t2i(prompt)}<br>${lastTextToImagePrompt}</div>`).joinItems("")]

prompt
  prompt = [bodyType] [e] Woman wearing a [c] shirt
  resolution = 512x768
  guidanceScale = 5

First we instantiate the consumable lists. Then, we create an Array with the size of the length of the consumable list (to prevent no more items), we then fill it with default items first, then map the items by changing them to host the t2i outputs then join them.

Wow! That looks perfect... This will also allow me to easily add use user inputs, and add the prompt parameters all in one place.

Thanks so much for the help!

I'll be sure to post again if I run into any trouble. 🙂

I may still be misunderstanding, but maybe this is what you want?

init
  [e = ethnicity.consumableList, c = shirtColor.consumableList, ""]

And then at the top of your HTML:

[init]

A fork of your example with those changes: https://perchance.org/ynkght2sbg#edit

This is even better. And much cleaner. Absolutely perfect.

Initiating the list is definitely the way to go over outputting an array.

Thanks ever SO much!!
