I want to make a random name generator I've been having many troubles with this and I don't really know how most of this works.

Here's how I'd do it - but you'll need a little java scripting. I tried to keep it to a minimum. Make sure that the random number generator is tab-indented (or has four spaces before it). You can change gender to male or female. And you can increase the randomizer and have more names. This is just the basics...

[[init]]:

    var rnd = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 3);    // random number between 1 and 3
    squiffy.set("rnd",rnd);

<set game variables here. can be male or female>
@set gender=female

{if gender=male:
{if rnd=1:{@name=Able}}
{if rnd=2:{@name=Cain}}
{if rnd=3:{@name=Duke}}
}
{if gender=female:
{if rnd=1:{@name=Abby}}
{if rnd=2:{@name=Cate}}
{if rnd=3:{@name=Darlene}}
}

Name is {name}.

Of course, you would really set your gender through the earlier script you were working on.

Thank you so much sorry I took a while to get back to you. You have been a great help I was struggling a lot as I didn't know how to use the @set name with the If statement. I had it as {if randomnumber=1:{@set name=Darfer}}. As I stated before I don't know much coding so I'm quite surprised I was actually quite close.

Actually, I didn't know how to set it until quite recently. This document is a superb reference that will give you all sorts of clear instructions on how to do advanced squiffy.

Oh this link will help me so so much thanks a lot! Currently I'm thinking about adding an inventory system as well... It'll take a while to add all the items I want because I want this to be very long and sophisticated because I'm awkward like that. But I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it. It's tedious and time consuming but great.
