  • I have a starting array, a list of character names, so they are text, not numbers.

    I want to randomly choose a character name from this first array, then add that name to a new array.

    I want to be able to do this many times throughout the game, without randomly choosing the same name twice.

    Essentially, I want to randomly choose a name, add that name to a new list, and permanently delete it from the first array so it can never be picked again.

    I've been reading array tutorials all day, and I haven't gotten a clear, clean way to do this.

    Maybe my question isn't clear?

    I want to have a pre-built array of character names.

    I want to randomly choose a name from that array.

    I then want to move that name to another, empty/new array.

    I then want the name that was chosen to be permanently deleted from the original array so it can never be picked again.

  • Hope it helps

    Your version is 187, mine is 184.

    I only see 184 as the current updated version (I even re-installed to be sure).

  • oh it's the 187 beta version
