CloseI have a minigame that picks a party member at random of say... 36 possible members. (not the # but there's alot) Is there some way of displaying a member's name in a message without having a separate Condition and Message box for every hero?
What I want:
Hello, (random member number)! I You have been chosen!
What I have:
IF # = 1, "Hello Alex!"
IF # = 2, "Hello Beatrice"
.....
- Mike

Sure... your heroes are numbered on the database. So, for example, if you have 36 heroes, you can pick the random hero with:
Set variable(chosen hero) = random number between 1 and 36.
To show the message, use the \n command with the number of the variable(chosen hero). For example, if the variable is number 0001, use the command:
Set variable(chosen hero) = random number between 1 and 36.
To show the message, use the \n command with the number of the variable(chosen hero). For example, if the variable is number 0001, use the command:
\n[\v[0001]]

That's what I thought I did, but I get an "Invalid Hero" message and then a crash. If the random number being pulled is 15, could the engine be looking for 0015 instead? (including zeros)
Variable 0004 (NAME) = Random # 15-18
"I have chosen you, \n{\v{0004}}!"
(I have replaced the

Well... just in case, insert a message with just to see what number is being generated.
The game doesn't distinct 15 from 0015, so that's not what is causing the crash.
\v[0001]

\v{0001} is showing 15
Hero 0015 is Serg Fitzjal
And how do you turn off a post's Auto Formatting?

Does this work with RM2k? I tested it with 2k3 and it was fine (as long as the variable was an actual hero or zero) but I can't confirm regular ol' RM2k. It might be hitting the '\' in \V and shitting a brick but I'm not sure.
