Random Encounter

— by Icehellionx

Random Encounter is a Pokemon-style script that allows for random events to occur. It rolls for probability, checks with an array of options (accounting for weight), then randomly selects from those options.

This script is set up to prevent multiple random events from firing at the same time. Weight can be used to create true chaos by setting all random events to the same, or allowing certain ones to stand out!

/* === Pokémon-style Encounter (ES5, site-hardened, Math.random only) ===

   Gate 10% → pick exactly one by weight → append once.

  { weight: 3,

    personality: " She leans on the counter, all hips and lazy grin. \"We could do the dishes… or we could not.\"",

    scenario:    " The sink glints with suspiciously artful stacks of plates that definitely didn’t wash themselves." },



  { weight: 2,

    personality: " She taps your phone screen with a painted nail. \"Rent’s due. Pay me in… compliments first.\"",

    scenario:    " A notification pings; she lounges on the sofa, legs tucked, acting like the landlord of vibes." },
