So I know I need to edit this line (90): var pickone = randomInteger(tips.length) - 1; But I know nothing about json. Trying to repurpose this and need it to go in order. Code: /*
Roll 20 - Script
Title: DnD 5e Tips Based Loading Page
Author: Michael Nekrasov
Description:
Creates a page to drop players on to that gives helpful tips while DM sets up a map
To use:
1. Create a page called "Loading" (you can change this in variables)
2. On the object layer create a textbox (will be auto created if none exists)
Note:
To optimize resources, the tooltips only change when the players (not GM) are viewing the page
*/
var displaySpeed = 15000; //Sets speed (in milleseconds) at which to cycle tips
var numChars = 70; //Set maximum number of characters per line
var targetPageName = "Loading"; //The name of the page you want to use for your loading screen
var onlyChangeIfVisible = false; //Only rotates tips when players are on Loading screen
var debug = true; //Enables debugging messages
var tips = [
"In the quietude of their separate lives, five souls moved through mundane rhythms until an inexplicable event shattered their reality. A blinding light enveloped them, revealing forgotten memories and distant echoes. When their vision returned, they stood in a dimly lit chamber, strangers bound by shared bewilderment.",
"Who were they? Why were they here? The questions echoed silently, etching themselves into their newfound reality. As their eyes adjusted to the gloom, they realized they were not alone.",
"Five figures stood there, drawn together by an invisible thread. And so began their tale—the tale of five souls awakened, their destinies irrevocably intertwined, and the promise of a world beyond imagination awaiting them",
