Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator
⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

- Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)
3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.
- If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)
4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.
- Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.
5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.
- We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (
text-to-image-pluginandai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?" - See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.
6. Search through the Community Before Posting.
- Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

yes, that is what i believe is going on behind-the-scenes. neither of the lockers have the issue if the locker is calling
indirecttext.evaluateItemoralttext.evaluateItem. the issue i'm having comes from the fact that currently, it seems that it's only possible to either keep the tooltip functional, or fully lock items including further evaluation; not both at the same time. ideally the two plugins would be able to offer their individual functions together without the conflict.One thing you might be able to do is have a variable that is locked. Then use that variable to determine the tooltip to be used, separating the value from the tooltip entirely, so you can fix the value, then determine the tooltip needed based on that value.
that's a good idea! unfortunately i attempted it in a couple of ways, and it didn't alleviate the conflict. thank you for the suggestion though!
here's a third generator that shows my attempts: https://perchance.org/locker-tooltip-conflict-example-three#edit
Here is what I'm actually suggesting. https://perchance.org/roabyow92m
You have separated the tooltip from being locked. Instead, you have an instance of a tooltip that is outside of the locker. Then, you have the locked store the locked value in a variable. Then use that variable to toggle what tooltip is to be shown on the tooltip instance.
OR
You only have one list, then have the tooltip text as a property of the item that you select (so that the value is specific to that item).
OR
You have a 'template' tooltip text, then only change the part in which would say the stored value.
Since I don't know how you've coded your lists, I can only blindly suggest how you could rewrite them. But I've added there some examples of how you could re-write it.
oh! that works really well actually! thank you so much, you've been a really big help! :D
