Well... Suppose the cat will be out of the bag now...
Yes I'm working on a tease to publish to the site...

Buuut I'm having trouble with something. I'm looking at the coding for two other teases that I know are capable of doing what I desire. I've even gone has far as I select out what I want in the coding. I just can't get the confounded thing to work in my test tease......


Alright so what I want is the simple randomness factor that several teases have. Where every time you go through it the tease is different from the last time in some way. Now my limited understanding of the coding that I'm looking at it involves a command called 'range'. Anyone know how to get the command to work and how to do this so it would work without glitches occurring?

Please read those tutorials:

You can't get it work because the code from a compiled script (published tease) differ from what is used in the editor. The editor will not understand some of the code ripped from the actual tease - it should be cleaned of garbage.
Also the nyx editor has a bug that prevents it from showing one and the same page twice from range() command. If a certain page was chosen through range(), it will not ever be chosen again, iven if you unset() it in a tease or even run the completely new preview session. It will be again avaliable only after you restart nyx itself. Problem is it "thinks" the page is still set, and range() doesnt choose set pages (build that way).
That's why if you make something complicated with randomness which requires going in circles over and over, you can't actually test it untill you publish. You must be certain in the code. If you want I can help you with your code (after you read the tutorials above and made the whole tease I can simply check it).

I presume you don't need all of the script in order to see if it works and only the portion being randomized?

Its not the entire tease I'm randomizing, only a select chunk of it is being set like this.

just make sure there's a few pages befor the starting of random sequence, random pages themselves, and some pages after (just so I can see where it starts and ends). You may post it via PM.

Also the explanation how it should work in your words will be appreciated. Like "it shows random pages from range 1-20 until page 20 is shown"....
