So, I don’t know how to explain this well, but I have this generator that has a “char = {[contestant.consumableList]|[host.consumableList]}” thingimajig, and my goal is to get it to have the output have no duplicates of either an item from the contestant list or from the host list, but I’m still getting duplicates anyways. How do I do this correctly?
The reason this doesn’t work:
char = {[contestant.consumableList]|[host.consumableList]}
Is because you’re essentially defining a “list” where
[
or ][
will be randomly chosen every time you write ][char]
. So, to be clear, you’re basically creating a fresh consumable list every time you write[char]
.This is unfortunately a bit confusing for newbies - it’s a common misunderstanding.
What you probably want is something like this:
output [makeChar] .......... makeChar [char = contestant.consumableList, ""] [char = host.consumableList, ""]
So, at the start of your ‘output’ you ‘execute’ the
makeChar
which creates thechar
variable for you based on a random choice between those twomakeChar
items.Hopefully that helps!

Try this:
[char1 = char.selectOne.titleCase] gives the worst hot take about [char2 = char.selectOne.titleCase], and [char2] subsequently kills them over it.
Here you’re creating a placeholder (aka variable) for the character you’ve selected so you can reference it later on. I also added
titleCase
so the character name gets capitalized.EDIT: The above does do random, but not unique. Here’s a working example I wrote:

It did both, but not unique. I added an edit with a more robust solution.
