Random and Global Variables

[James]

Hey,

I'm working on an AutoIt script which is like Sloganizer.net (i542)

Basically, I'm not sure on how to declare the possible answers and then randomly pick one. Once I have learnt, I will understand it, which means I won't ask for help on the matter again, in fact I can help on them

Here is what I have so far,

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$sGui = GUICreate("Sloganizer.Net :: Secure_ICT AutoIt Version", 554, 338, -1, -1)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("logo.jpg", 0, 16, 553, 81, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP))
$Text = GUICtrlCreateInput("Text", 72, 112, 385, 21)
$sloganize = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sloganize", 152, 144, 217, 25, 0)
$FinalText = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 72, 192, 4, 4)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 36, 800, 0, "Arial")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFF0000)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Global $Answer
$Answer[0] = "<< " & $Text & " will be for you what you want it to be.>>"
$Answer[1] = "<< " & $Text & ", in touch with tomorrow.>>"

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $sloganize
                        SloganizeTxt()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func SloganizeTxt()
    $SloganizeNow = GuiCtrlRead($Text)
    $Random = Random($Answer)
    GUICtrlSetData($Random)
EndFunc

The image is attached below.

Thankyou for helping in advance,

Basically, I'm not sure on how to declare the possible answers and then randomly pick one.

One method would be to declare an array containing the possible answers, then use Random with the integer flag to pick an array element.

Untested:

$max_num_slogans=50
Dim $a[$max_num_slogans] + 1
$a[1] = 'foo'
$a[2] = 'bar'
;etc

$i = Rand(1,$max_num_slogans,1)
consolewrite($a[$i])

Not sure what you are looking for but I some what fixed your script NO Errors

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Dim $Answer[3]

$sGui = GUICreate("Sloganizer.Net :: Secure_ICT AutoIt Version", 554, 338, -1, -1)

GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)

$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("logo.jpg", 0, 16, 553, 81, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP))

$Text = GUICtrlCreateInput("Text", 72, 112, 385, 21)

$sloganize = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sloganize", 152, 144, 217, 25, 0)

$FinalText = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 72, 192, 4, 4)

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 36, 800, 0, "Arial")

GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFF0000)

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Global $Answer

$Answer[1] = "<< " & $Text & " will be for you what you want it to be.>>"

$Answer[2] = "<< " & $Text & ", in touch with tomorrow.>>"

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

Case $sloganize

EndSwitch

WEnd

Func SloganizeTxt()

$SloganizeNow = GuiCtrlRead($Text)

$Random = Random($Answer)

GUICtrlSetData($sGui ,$Random)

EndFunc

Added:

Dim $Answer[3]

Changed

$Answer[1] = "<< " & $Text & " will be for you what you want it to be.>>"

$Answer[2] = "<< " & $Text & ", in touch with tomorrow.>>"

Fixed

GUICtrlSetData($sGui ,$Random)

Mine version:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$sGui = GUICreate("Sloganizer.Net :: Secure_ICT AutoIt Version", 554, 400, -1, -1)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("logo.jpg", 0, 16, 553, 81, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP))
$Text = GUICtrlCreateInput("Text", 72, 112, 385, 21)
$sloganize = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sloganize", 152, 144, 217, 25, 0)
$FinalText = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 72, 192, 400, 200)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 36, 800, 0, "Arial")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFF0000)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Global $Answer[3]
$Answer[0] = "%1 will be for you what you want it to be."
$Answer[1] = "%1, in touch with tomorrow."
$Answer[2] = "Forever with %1 :-)"

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $sloganize
            SloganizeTxt()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func SloganizeTxt()
    $SloganizeNow = GuiCtrlRead($Text)
    $Random = Random(0,UBound($Answer)-1,1)
    $result = $Answer[$Random]
    $result = StringReplace($result,'%1', $SloganizeNow)
    GUICtrlSetData($FinalText, "<< " & $result & " >>")
EndFunc

EDIT:

Slogans can be saved in TXT file (each slogan at one line) and read by _FileReadToArray()
