hey, I'm completely new to lil and decker and I can't crack the random command. I want to make a widget that sends me to a random card from a selection of say ten cards. is it even possible? I feel like it should be, but I just end up sending myself off to the home card.
The "random[]" function can be called in several different ways to produce different kinds of random values. In your case, you want to select a random value from a list of possibilities and then supply that value to the "go[]" function.
The "go[]" function can navigate to cards by index (a number), by name (a string), or by value (a Card interface). We'll go with the latter. Within a script, all the cards of the deck are available as variables of the same name. Commas (,) between values are used to form a list. If we have cards named "cardA", "cardB", and "cardC", and we wish to navigate to one of those cards randomly when a button is clicked, we could give it a script like:
on click do go[random[cardA,cardB,cardC]] end
Does that help?
