Chat script help

Hi roll20 scripters, I'm looking for a script that would read in a sentence and then replace certain words in that sentence with specific words from a dictionary. I've no experience in javascript so some pointers would be helpful. As an example, I would want to type something like "!command some long sentence" and it would check a dictionary ["some" : "other", "sentence" : "words"] and replace the matching words with those from the dictionary and output "other long words" for this example. I've got something written in python that I have been copying and pasting the output into chat from but it would be nice to have it embedded in the system. I'm using it to roleplay a dwarf and use the khazalid language in place of some words. I'm not trying to convert all words in the sentence or make gibberish. Any assistance appreciated!

Here's a script you can use.  Just call: !word-swap <message> You can edit the dict at the top to put in words. on('ready',()=>{ const dict = { "some": "other", "sentence": "words" }; const processInlinerolls = (msg) => { if(_.has(msg,'inlinerolls')){ return _.chain(msg.inlinerolls) .reduce(function(m,v,k){ let ti=_.reduce(v.results.rolls,function(m2,v2){ if(_.has(v2,'table')){ m2.push(_.reduce(v2.results,function(m3,v3){ m3.push(v3.tableItem.name); return m3; },[]).join(', ')); } return m2; },[]).join(', '); m['$[['+k+']]']= (ti.length && ti) || v.results.total || 0; return m; },{}) .reduce(function(m,v,k){ return m.replace(k,v); },msg.content) .value(); } else { return msg.content; } }; const doReplace = (txt) => Object.keys(dict).reduce((m,v)=>m.replace(new RegExp(`\\b${v}\\b`),dict[v]),txt); on('chat:message',(msg)=>{ if('api' === msg.type && /^!word-swap\b/i.test(msg.content)){ let player = (getObj('player',msg.playerid)||{get:()=>'API'}); let speakingas = (player.get('speakingas').length ? player.get('speakingas') : `player|${player.id}`); let content = processInlinerolls(msg); content = doReplace(content.replace(/^!word-swap\s*/,'')); sendChat(speakingas, `${msg.rolltemplate ? `&{template:${msg.rolltemplate}}`: ''}${content}`); } }); });

It's not actually as complicated as it looks, I included handling inline rolls, roll templates, and speaking as.  The real work is just the doReplace function and the dict lookup.

Thank you very much, you're an absolute legend.

No problem. =D
