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.

[Help] adding roll buttons to 5e statblock generator? (self.perchance)
submitted 11 months ago by starrymoonbow to c/perchance
4 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 

i'm looking to make a generator to store ttrpg stat blocks, and use buttons to roll ability checks, saving throws, etc. the 5e stat block generator template with the drop-down menu seems like a good starting point, but since the cards are generated on the fly rather than being static in the html, i don't know how or where i'd put the code together to add buttons with little output fields below them for the rolls to go.
thank you in advance for helping! i'm very grateful for the help i've received so far and for any i receive in the future! <3

Can you link the generator that you have made attempts on? Also, see the tap-plugin, if you want a tap-to-randomize text.

this is the generator i thought would be a good starting point: https://perchance.org/stat-block-with-drop-down-example#edit
by default, it has the ability to display stats within the cards, but i wouldn't know where to begin in editing the code of that to include buttons for rolling with the modifiers of the inputted stats.

Can you give like a 'skeleton' of what it would be like?

In the generator, on the left side, here are the parts you will edit:

  1. The Title of the Card
  2. Sub Title of the Card
  3. The Title of the paragraph
  4. Text of the paragraph.


Here is where they would display on the output.

If this is your first time in Perchance, I recommend looking through the tutorials (Perchance Tutorial and Perchance Examples or Perchance Snippets) to understand the syntax of the code.
