Infinite 'Random' Bag

[Sandling]

Curious if anyone ever wrote (or can help) with a script to have multiple options (randomized on each pull) coming out of Infinite Bags - If so it would help me immensly with some custom boardgame design! :)

Can't do.
Infinite bags are for single items.

You could make a self shuffling bag and just put the item back after you pulled it.
(you can always copy + paste a new one if you need to keep the item as well)

That's what I've been doing at the moment indeed, but sometimes the results of the bag get pulled away by our players by accident, and rolling a dice for random results has been a timesink when you need to keep an eye on everyone xD

Perhaps a clumsy way would be to script a normal bag to know what object got pulled, putting a replica of said item 'back' in the bag?

Copy/paste this script onto a bag and try it out. Note that it won't work immediately on that particular bag that you paste the script to; you'll have to do one of the following: save and load the game with the scripted bag; save it to chest and spawn a new one from there (the script will work on the newly spawned one); or copy/paste it and the pasted one will work.

--[[ If an object is removed from this container, clone the object and put the clone into the container --]]

function onObjectLeaveContainer(container, object)
    if container == self then
        self.putObject(object.clone({['position'] = {self.getPosition().x, self.getPosition().y + 2, self.getPosition().z} }))
        startLuaCoroutine(self, 'delayedShuffle')
    end
end

--[[ Wait three frames to allow the clone time to spawn and enter the container, then shuffle the container --]]

function delayedShuffle()
    for i = 1, 3 do
        coroutine.yield(0)
    end
    self.shuffle()
    return 1
end

Edit: I put it up on the workshop too: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=873630529

Many many thanks for this <3

Still an absolute newbie at scripting in TS, so the help is truly appreciated :)
Hoping I can eventually return the favour to help others in need when I've learned the language a bit more myself

That's an interesting use of the new event with clone object. Haven't thought of it that way.
Good job!
