How to randomly choose between 3 passages in Twine?

Hi all!

I just wanted to know if anyone knew how to choose between a set of 3 random passages when clicking to the next page in Twine. I am super new to Twine, so I apologize if this has been asked a million times. If there is a thread or video I can watch that will answer this, please feel free to link it!

The best I can explain how I want this to happen, is that when the player clicks to go next (or whatever the word is between the brackets to continue on), the following page/passage they land on is chosen randomly between three scenarios. This is the only mechanic I would like to add to the game, and I’m not sure where or what to watch to be able to accomplish this. I keep seeing Harlowe being used for this mechanic, but I’ve been recommended by others to use Twine.

Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!

Harlowe is actually a story format of Twine. What story format are you using? It should be in Story > Details.

I’ve moved this thread to the appropriate category. I don’t have experience with Twine, but others will be able to help!
