I’m working on my first project using Perchance to create an RPG character generator. I want to add a feature where, if a generated character’s race has subraces, there’s a chance for a subrace to be generated as well.
For example, if the race “Elf” is generated, I want there to be a chance that it specifies “High Elf,” “Wood Elf,” or “Dark Elf” as a subrace. How can I implement this functionality in Perchance?
My solution is quite simple here. You just create a list of races (in this example, list of fruits) that has a sublist of race types (in this example, fruit types),
fruit Apple Green Apple Red Apple Blue Apple Grape Red Grape Green Grape Berries Blackberry Blueberryand then reference them in the output like this:
Fruit: [fr = fruit.selectOne, fr.getName] Fruit type: [fr]You can then change the references of fruits to races and modify them as you like.
races Elf High Elf Wood Elf Dark Elf ...With this, you can also specify directly each items’ odds:
output Race: [r = races.selectOne, r.getName] <br> Sub-Race: [r] Race: [r = races.evaluateItem] <br> Sub-Race: [races[r]] // Using the Dynamic Sublisting. races Human^1.5 Eastern Human^0.4 ... Elf^0.2 High Elf^0.3 Wood Elf^0.3 Dark Elf^0.1 ...This would mean, you can have the chance of it being a ‘Elf’ or other races, then you can also specify the odds of the subraces.
Thanks I will try this out
