How do I speak a randomly chosen array entry?

Hi all,

I have an array with a five pieces of text. When a btn is clicked a text box shows a random text entry from the array via this code.

array.at(round(random(0,4)))

This works fine.

I then want speech synthesis to speak whatever text was chosen. I can't figure out how to get it to connect with the text that happened to be chosen at random.

Many thanks for any tips.

This is not working

Looks correct

Create an aux local variable.

On touch -> set aux variable to round(random(0,3)).

Use this aux variable on sayings.At(aux_var)

Thanks Kryptopixel, this works. It's very helpful. Can you possibly explain a little as to what it's doing? I'd like to understand.

The way you were doing was wrong because you had random in both actions.. its impossible to have the same result if you dont have it stored to use the result again.. with an aux var it will store the result of the random so its possible to use the same result on both actions.
