PlayfulGuy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2015 2:50 am For the metronome (or the delay) you can specify a random one like

Code: Select all

imagejpg,,30..60 Page text

to get a random value from 30 to 60, but you'll get odd numbers like 31,37, etc.

To get a better result you can use RandomFrom or ChooseFrom.
You use ChooseFrom like this:

Code: Select all

image.jpg,,<Choosefrom 30,60,90> Page text

This will randomly choose one of the listed values. You can give more weight to some numbers by repeating them as in

Code: Select all

<Choosefrom 30,60,90,30,60,120,30>

With a list like that 30 is most likely to occur, then 60, then 90 and 120.

You can also use <Randomfrom 30,120,30> which will give you a random number from 30 to 120 in steps of 30, which results in one of 30, 60, 90 or 120.
<Randomfrom 30,120,15> will give you a random number from 30 to 120 in steps of 15, resulting in values like 30, 45, 60, 75 etc...

SSL2_Loop:

	if (SS_Count > SS_Number) return

	*.jpg, 10..20, <randomfrom 90, 180, 30> gt Stroke!

	SS_Count = SS_Count + 1

	goto	SSL2_Loop

I am going nuts! This is clearly explained, and yet, I can't get it to work!

My script is:

Code: Select all

SSL2_Loop:

	if (SS_Count > SS_Number) return

	*.jpg, 10..20, <randomfrom 90, 180, 30> gt Stroke!

	SS_Count = SS_Count + 1

	goto	SSL2_Loop

The image displays, with the random delay, the formatted text (gt is a format) and NO metronome?

I am using ScriptTease v1.4 and GM 1.5.

What do you mean? I only know about the ".length()" >> ".length" change, which can cause a backwards compatibility problem in some Teases. Although this is very easy fixed... Are there more backwards compatibility problems?

I'm apparently an idiot. I've reviewed the code for version 1.4 and it clearly does not properly support use of the <RandomFrom> or <Choosefrom> tags for the Metronome argument. I've no idea how that slipped through my testing. I can only offer apologies at this point. Interesting that no one else has reported that in all this time though.

Version 1.4 did not support use of a variable for the metronome either. Sorry about that.

The good news is that I tested your code in the new version I'm working on, and while your code uncovered a small bug, it was an easy fix, and it now works as expected.

In the new version of the script engine I have completely revised how tags are handled and it is much more complete and robust. I will get back on that project over the next few weeks and do some testing with the new version of Guideme as well.

Regards,

PG
