I hope this is the right place for this! I'm trying to create a script that pulls from three different random lists of phrases to construct random sentences for my NPCs, and I've run into a bit of a snag because I'm pretty new at Ruby. Here's what I've got so far (the dialogue is ridiculous, I know)


@name = "Marley"


@message_1 = "I just discovered",


"My favorite band is The",


"I really enjoy",


"I had a nightmare about",


"you look like a bunch of",


"Nobody but me has ever seen",


"Mainstream stuff is for",


"I'm not rude, society just consists of"


@random = rand(7)


@message_2 = " large",


" purple",


" orange",


" grotesque",


" scaly",


" smelly",


@random = rand(5)


@message_3 = " pustules",


" dolls.",


" eggplants.",


" buffalo.",


" airplane hangars",


@random = rand(4)


$game_message.add(@name + ": " + @message_1[@random]+ @message_2[@random]+ @message_3[@random])


I'm just getting back the same four sentences, ("I really enjoy orange eggplant," "My favorite band is The purple dolls," "I just discovered large pustules," and "you look like a bunch of scaly airplane hangars." None of these is particularly ideal. Does anyone have any suggestions or pointers? I'm pretty stuck.


Thanks so much!
