Hi all,
working on something like a Trivia game.

This is my thought on how to do it, can you let me know if there's a better way?

I want to have some options, where questions from category A are included if box A is checked, from category B if box B is checked, etc.

I'm writing questions from each category into a new file, and giving each one an integer ID. Then, use the random (from,to) command to pick a question.

I'm also planning on using another random command within each question to include 2 random false answers, to make the options different each time.

Any help is appreciated!

No posts were deleted, new members of the forums need their posts approved by a mod for the first few days, in part to catch spam bots that create accounts just to spam ads.

This is not the case for you, just have a little patience and the annoying 'pending approval' thing will soon disappear.

Oh and welcome to the forums.

Cheers!

I have a long-running project doing something similar.
It's very complex because I'm including many other features.

But for the questions and answers I use a spreadsheet with up to 6 wrong answers and 1 correct one. I export them to a csv and import them into the game. I shuffle the wrong answers in an array, then select the first 2 from the array. Shuffling the answers gives you more scope than hardcoding 2 random picks. For example, if you later decide you want 3 wrong answers rather than 2.
