Hi ya'll!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to create a "builder" for randomly generating objects like we see used for weapons and generated monsters? Or perhaps someone knows of a mod where this has already been done?

I'm imagining all sorts of cool uses for this- mainly, enabling us to use a single object as cosmetic filler rather than making a million different versions of the same thing. An easy example would be customized animated fish tanks- different sets of frames containing different fish in different positions would mean that placing multiple fish tanks in a scene would result in some variation rather than a bunch of identical fish all moving in sync.

Yeah, I COULD just make a dozen different objects with unique graphics each, but that's a little more tedious and less flexible if you ask me.

I'm assuming this could be done by creating a lua script somehow randomizing the "imagelayers" used by the object, but I'm no wiz when it comes to scripting. Am I on the right track? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
