I’ve been looking for a way to make a randomizer for one of my games. I want it to do a random emoji whenever you click a box, like a fortune cookie. I saw a post saying you need to use a set value block but I don’t have those. I’m posting this here because it won’t let me in Deprecated. Thanks.

Do you mean like the box turns in to the emoji or the emoji is a different object?

All you have to do is put in the box code:
When SELF is tapped
Set variable (variable) to random 1 to (the number of different types of emojis you want)
Then put in the emoji object’s code
When (variable)=1
Set text to (the emoji you want)
Do that with every possible number that (variable) can be.

@Fundardo posted the answer that you need! You basically just need to make a new variable, then make it to a random number and use “when (variable) equals ___” togheter with “Set text” blocks and you are done.

Yeah, everyone’s basically answered your question – the reason why you don’t have a “set value” block is because variables were originally called “values” so the block names have changed a bit. 
Easy-
When self is tapped
Set variable(name) to random 1 to (whatever you want)
Then get a text.
In its code,-
When (variable name)=1,
Set text to(emoji)
When(variable name)=2
Set text to(emoji)
When(variable name)=3
Set text to (emoji)
And so one…

I’m really confused. I made the variable, but I don’t get the rest. Sorry, I’m bad at coding.

Alright, I figured out how to make it random, but how do I get the object codes?

Why not? It works fine for me. You must have made a mistake
Well you can’t actually do what strings normally can do. Like you can’t do Set String to Hello and do Set Text String and have it display the string.
