⚄︎ 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.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • 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-plugin and ai-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.

When I try to access a property of a stored variable, it says that "it does not exist." Why does this happen?

I'll try not to think about what text this thing is spitting out--yikes!

Anyhow... I see no errors at all.

It seems like either the OP responded to my message, or they just figured it out by themselves.

Ah okay 👍

You can't assign variables in the middle of a list, instead you would move this part to the output assignment so it would actually create the variable that could be evaluated by the ..., r = recipies.selectOne, r.name] instance:

[f=createInstance(ingredients.flour.selectOne), createInstance(b=ingredients.flour.selectOne)]

Like this:

Why does this happen?

Perchance recognizes and evaluates the f variable assignment block I've mentioned before as the child of the list pie which is a child of the list recipies, making it unusable when called it directly within the variable's name. To fix this you'd need to execute that assignment before the recipies list is evaluated (as I've said before).
