@2Ton and other skilled scripters. I know it’s possible to select a random scene file, but is it possible to use a goto random within a single scene file? For example, say there’s a central room and from it you can choose #Go adventuring. How would the subsequent goto randomly select one of say, twelve possible adventures? ---

Also, how would you make some adventres repeat only once and others play multiple times? ---

I would do ``` *temp randscene *rand randscene 1 12 *if randscene=1 *goto_scene adventure1 *if randscene=2 *goto_scene adventure2 ``` And so on. Oh wait did I misread? If you want all the adventures in the same file, just do it as ``` *temp randscene *rand randscene 1 12 *if randscene=1 *goto adventure1 *if randscene=2 *goto adventure2 ``` instead and be sure to “\*label adventure1” etc ---

#fairygodfeather And add another variable that monitors if a scene has been played, followed by a reroll to pick another, for the scenes intended to only run once? ---

@FairyGodfeather @ADNox Remember that, with the latest version of ChoiceScript, \*create and \*temp commands need to have a value assigned: ``` *temp variable1 50 *temp variable2 true *temp variable3 "variable" ``` The above will work. The below, will not: ``` *temp variable1 ``` ---

@Redgrave - Only \*create requires you to declare a variable in the update. \*temp allows but doesn’t require a starting value. > **[New ChoiceScript: \*create has changed, mygame.js is optional](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/-/1291/6)** > > Yes, \*temp has also been updated to allow (but not require) a value. You don’t have to change anything, but if you’d like, you can now write “\*temp winner true”. ---

Scratch that; the subroutines fatten it. ---

@Caddmuss ah! Thanks for that! I haven’t had time to play around with the latest version of ChoiceScript but I really must do, it seems. @FairyGodfeather @ADNox sorry for that, and doubly sorry if I confused you!
