Picking Random Object Problems

[IndigoMaster000]

Hello. I am new to the forums and somewhat adept at MMF2. I just have a problem. I have poked around the program for about 9 days now trying to figure out how to do it. I am making something somewhat like a "Random Sentence Generator". My problem is, I need it to select a sentence at random, but I have more than one different sentence. Here is what it looks like:

"String 9: This is an example."
"String 10: This is also an example."
"String 11: This is again, an example."

When I click the button I have it needs to pick one of those Strings at random to be put onto the screen. My problem is, is there a way to make them all titled "String 9" (or whatever, doesn't matter) but have different sentences so it could "Pick "String 9" at random?
i.e.

"String 9: This is an example."
"String 9: This is also an example."
"String 9: This is again, an example."

The problem is, when I changed their title to "String 9", all the text turn to the same thing like so:


"String 9: This is an example."
"String 9: This is an example."
"String 9: This is an example."

and not:

"String 9: This is an example."
"String 9: This is also an example."
"String 9: This is again, an example."


Is there a way to fix that? If not, I tried thinking of a Plan B sort of say where it "Picks an object at random within a specified zone." Is there a way to do that? Now, the objects are not the same. It's this:

"String 9: This is an example."
"String 10: This is also an example."
"String 11: This is again, an example."

Is there a way to pick one of those strings at random to be put on the screen?

Please help. And I apologize if I sound like a noob or if there are already posts made for this problem or the answer is so easy I didn't even need this help. Thank you!

Hope I'm understanding you. Sounds like you can accomplish this with one string.

Add a new string object and you'll see "Paragraph 1: Text" in the Properties toolbar. Add as many new paragraphs as you want for all your sentences. Then add your button.

User clicks button:
->Set paragraph to Random(3)+1

Strings are funny in that they're base 1 when most number value calculations are base 0, so make sure you stick that +1 in the code or you won't display all your strings.

Then when you wanna go a little more advanced:

User clicks button:
->Set paragraph to Random(npara( "String" ))+1

npara stands for Number of Paragraphs. This way you can add or remove paragraphs without changing your code.

Oh I see. Ok. I will test it when I have the chance. Thank you!
