Random Tables lookups? - Page 2

jkthomsen9 · August 9th, 2014, 10:43 AM

This particular encounter table has twenty different outcomes based on five different terrains. Some have five or six outcomes others have all but three.

im confused... is it working, or not working for you? It works for me in a browser, but havent tried it directly in RealmWorks

This is starting to get complicated, but i'd suggest modifying the function to determine which set of tables to use...

ok, here is the latest. Ive done forest and aquatic for you. You will need to do the rest. Tested in a browser, but not Realm Works:

function rand(number) {

i put it in a code block to keep the formatting (easy to follow when you have multiple blocks).

I changed a method name, and now the method requires an argument, for your code.

mirtos · 11:18 AM

by the way, we're starting to get complicated. something like jquery would start to be better. but i dont know if realms works can handle external javascript libraries or not.

mirtos · 11:49 AM

Here is a slightly nicer, cleaner version. not much, but a little.

I dont think you need the input box. You could style the result tag a little nicer.

Slightly better formatted to (even though i hate using table formatting, i just dont know what html engine Realm Works is using)

Mirtos, I tested the last two code pieces you put up, but neither one works in RW, only in a browser.

mirtos · August 9th, 2014, 12:53 PM

i guess i should test in realms work before i put up. looks like it might be using a different javascript engine.

mirtos · 01:19 PM

I just tried the first one. got it to work while rmeoving the console.log statement... (debugging statement).

Couldnt get the second one to work... looks like whatever JS engine is being used it doesnt know the parentdom stuff.

When i was doing it all earlier i wasnt by realms works... tested, now it works (well one of them does) It would be interesting to know what JS engine is being used.

You could do a table with ids or something, but you can use the first one:

Realm Works (likely via the .NET WebBrowser control) uses the engine from the main version of IE installed on your machine. I have IE11 and the User Agent for Realm Works is:

Quote:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)

It'll navigate to other websites and run plugins if you want. I wouldn't recommend using external resources but you likely can. At that point, though, why not just link to a page on the Internet? The "local" page won't work without Internet access anyway.
