You cannot copy paste the example because the bottom says do not reproduce without permission. But you can use the general structure because its a tutorial. Just not fruits. That would need authors permission

That's what I'm after xD - how would I do it if the weighting was in one field in an autoform and the names were in another field in the autoform?

Just make one autoform with two fields or more if u need one for description or something. One would be called name and the other would be weight. Then you would insert the autoform variable in the code and add on [0].name 0 being the index of the first item in your autoform

Autoformvariable[0].name would output the nam
Autoformvariable[0].weight would be the weightPut it in a for loop and you got them all

Thank you so much! Another question - I'm trying to make this all appear on a new page but so far no Buenos any help?

U mean like ur own custom page or a new profile tab. Really u can make a page in settings or use a page remove the content and add ur own. This makes it look like a new page but it is actually just a modification

[P̌̓aͧś̀t̀u͒le͆o͂2̀3̃̓]

If its a new page just have a jquery document ready search for a div name and add the data. Otherwise u can add the html data directly into the custom page in the admin section

I'm trying to do it via yootil.api but as I say I'm having no luck - I might have to do a new custom page @_@

Right now the code itself is erroring as well


proboards.combined_279.js:34889 An error occurred during a document.ready call:  TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
While executing:  () {

var eandw = pb.plugin.get('equestriad_random_event_genera').settings;
   var events= eandw.name[0]
var eweight= eandw.weight[0] //weight of each element above
var totalweight=eval(ewei…(anonymous function) @ proboards.combined_279.js:34889


and I'm not sure where I went wrong


$( document ).ready(function() {



var eandw = pb.plugin.get('equestriad_random_event_genera').settings;

   var events= eandw.name[0]

var eweight= eandw.weight[0] //weight of each element above

var totalweight=eval(eweight.join("+")) //get total weight (in this case, 10)

var eweightevent=new Array() //new array to hold "weighted" fruits

var curevent=0

 

while (curevent<events.length){ //step through each fruit[] element

    for (i=0; i<eweight[curevent]; i++)

        eweightevent[eweightevent.length]=events[curevent]

    curevent++

}

   var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*totalweight)

document.write(eweightevent[randomnumber])



   });


(I've took out my attempts at yootil as they're obviously going "nope" right now @_@

have you checked if your elements have data?
I think you are close but not quite 


var eandw = pb.plugin.get('equestriad_random_event_genera').settings.AUTOFORMNAME//add the autoform name

var events= eandw[0].name //first event name as text
That's how you get a specific index of a name. However you already have it as an array with names and weights.
If that's not enough help then I'll try and help you further

I put data in - I'll export the plugin if that fix doesn't work xD I was sure I'd do something derpy xD (I started coding at 3.30 am in a fit of can't sleepies!)

edit: still going nope - exporting plugin (I'll need some slow steady hand holding help to set a key as I don't want people to refresh to get more favourable options in the case of not getting what they want). Throwing same error Equestriad Random Event Generator.pbp (803 B)

$( document ).ready(function() {

var eandw = pb.plugin.get('equestriad_random_event_genera').settings.events_and_weighting;
    var events= new Array()
    for(a=0;a<eandw.length;a++)
    {events[a] =  eandw[a].name //puts event names in an array
    }
   var eweight= eandw[0].weight //weight of ONLY the first element
    var totalweight = 0 //get total weight (in this case, 10)
    var eweightevent=new Array() //new array to hold "weighted" fruits
    var curevent=0
    for(a=0;a<eandw.length;a++)
    {totalweight += parseFloat(eandw[a].weight)//adds all weights
    }
 
    while (curevent<events.length){ //step through each fruit[] element
    for (i=0; i<eweight[curevent]; i++)
        eweightevent[eweightevent.length]=events[curevent]
        
    curevent++
}
    var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*totalweight)
console.log(eweightevent[randomnumber])//writes to console
//never call document.write after page load or it replaces all page data very bad practice
 
    });

Not exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish as I said my brain is toast. But that at least removes the error and gets what you wanted working working I think. assuming weight is a number
as you see with my for loop I can add all of the weights into one variable using the += which does an increment. it's the same as saying oldweight=oldweight+newweight

Ah! Now I have a few more things to solve (( namely getting it on a new page and making it so people can only re roll 3 times total ))

Easy stuff. U figure it out yet?

XD the second part is a nope the first part is an argument in progress
