Synonym Replacements (1 Viewer)

[aztlan]

Having a quick and easy way to tell the dialogue to pick a synonym for a word or two in a line would allow for the dialogue to seem much more varied and less repetitive.

Suppose I want to have a line play that randomly chooses among several synonyms. How do I do that?

For example: "I am a *X*" where X is randomly chosen from {"male", "man", "dude", "guy"}.

Is there any way to then make the choice either:

(a) remembered so it is chosen again or
(b) drive other word choices down the road?

For example, "I am a *X* and my name is *Y*" where X is randomly chosen from {"male", "female"} and Y is {*Bob iff X = male, Jane iff X= female}?

Basically, you want array support.

I suppose I do. I was wondering if there is any clever way around it. I'm sure there must be but my mind is drawing a blank at the moment....

P.S. - thanks heaps for updating your dialogue checker!

I don't really understand what you really want, but there is this post from T0mcat that explains how to insert randoms words in phrases:

Spoiler: Example randomized dialogue

intro:"" {"set":{"word":"angry"}, "next":"intro01"}
intro:"" {"set":{"word":"horny"}, "next":"intro01"}
intro:"" {"set":{"word":"wet"}, "next":"intro01"}
intro:"" {"set":{"word":"tired"}, "next":"intro01"}
intro:"" {"set":{"word":"bored"}, "next":"intro01"}

intro01:"I'm sooo *word*!"
intro01:"I'm really getting *word* now."
intro01:"If You wanted to get me *word*, You did it."
intro01:"If You don't fuck me right now, I'll be getting even more *word*"
intro01:"I'm *word*. Really fucking *word*. Can't even imagine I could get more *word* than I am now"

You can also simply copy the same phrases and just change the words you want:

Spoiler: Example randomized dialogue v.2

intro:"I am a male."
intro:"I am a man."
intro:"I am a dude."
intro:"I am a guy."
intro:"I am a meat popsicle."

I hope that helps...
