I used the book's script set up to call up one of several predefined responses when left clicking on a regional entity:

Code: [Select]

var mountaindescribe;
 
mountaindescribe[0] = "Those mountains look gorgeous from out here.  Probably a pain and a half to climb, though."; 
mountaindescribe[1] = "That song that mentions purple mountain majesties...they never saw this.";
mountaindescribe[2] = "Never was one for rock climbing.  I'd rather just kick something in a gym.";
mountaindescribe[3] = "Staring at those mountains makes me hungry.  I don't know why it makes me hungry.  Maybe because I'm hungry all the time...";
mountaindescribe[4] = "What a boring view.  Never changes, nothing dynamic.  No wonder I prefer TV.";

var rdffg = Random(0,4);

on "Leftclick"
{
  Game.Msg(mountaindescribe[rdffg]);
}
Instead of getting a random response each time I click, instead, I get the same response every time in a session, which changes each time I reload the game.  What am I doing wrong?

The script is loaded with the scene, so your script it will create a random number only when the scene is loaded.
If you want a random responses on the LeftClick event you have to put the Random inside the LeftClick event, like this:

Code: WME Script

1. var mountaindescribe;
2.  
3. mountaindescribe[0] = "Those mountains look gorgeous from out here.  Probably a pain and a half to climb, though."; 
4. mountaindescribe[1] = "That song that mentions purple mountain majesties...they never saw this.";
5. mountaindescribe[2] = "Never was one for rock climbing.  I'd rather just kick something in a gym.";
6. mountaindescribe[3] = "Staring at those mountains makes me hungry.  I don't know why it makes me hungry.  Maybe because I'm hungry all the time...";
7. mountaindescribe[4] = "What a boring view.  Never changes, nothing dynamic.  No wonder I prefer TV.";
8.  
9. var rdffg;
10.  
11. on "Leftclick"
12. {
13.   rdffg = Random(0,4);
14.   Game.Msg(mountaindescribe[rdffg]);
15. }

Thanks a lot!  That worked perfectly.
