How do I...?

To split one sentence to words. then create text object for each word.
There is one option to control a random position or not.

You could use the javascript method string.split(" “). When you have the sentence, make it into a scene variable, the create a javascript event that uses
let strList = runtimeScene.getVariables().get(“name of the variable”).getAsString().split(” ")
for (let i in strList){
runtimeScene.getVariables().get(“name of the variable”).getChild(i+1).setString(strList[i])
}
to convert the string in a struct where 1 is the first word, 2 the second etc. There you can apply this method: How to batch create a lot of random objects in an event of a scene? - #3 by Gyuszko to create an instance for each.

Hi, I’m trying to do something similar but I don’t know how, I’m trying to use 80k words as a dictionary, I tried to add them all in a variable but it detects them as a single text which would take up an array but to manually add each word would take forever, I appreciate your

It’s best to start a new post instead of replying to a 5 year old thread. You can always insert a link to this thread.

Putting that many words into an array sounds like a lot. Maybe you can format the list as a Json file. You would be able to load the Json file into a variable. That’s not my strength. So, I can’t help you with that. Honestly, I would break the list down into smaller prices if possible. Maybe by word size or like “a to e” or by levels. I don’t know your goal but a large array or string could cause lag and/or resource issues. A database or something external might be another option.

Another option would be to use a combination of the many text manipulation expressions. You can search for words or search for commas. Again, I don’t have any context to go with.

I recommend that you start a new post and provide more details. Otherwise, we’re just guessing.
