Iterating through a list

[Speusippus]

Sorry for the basic question.

In the Dynamic Prompting extension if I turn "combinatorial generations" on and type into the prompt field "{pig|cat|dog}", this produces three prompts, "pig", "cat", and "dog".

What's the easiest way to do this (assuming there is a way) using unprompted?

Looking through the shortcodes I'm getting visions of arrays and fors and gets, but it feels like I have to be overcomplicating it once I start going into that direction. Is there maybe some simple single shortcode I'm accidentally skipping that would do this more succinctly?

My big hope is to find a way, using some extension or other, to do both iteration through a list and randomly choosing from a list -- while having the random choice be determined by the seed -- all in one single script.* Dynamic Prompts doesn't work for this because you have to have it either in "combinatorial generation" mode or not--can't do both in one script. Jinja2 doesn't work for this either, because its random chooser isn't determined by the seed. (Seems, in other words, to use its own separate inaccessible seed). So the same script yields different results. I thought hopefully Unprompted would get me there but I'm having trouble seeing a simple way to do the iteration through a list bit. (But random choosing is determined by the seed, so that's good.)

*Example, something like

FOR EACH of these: Red, Yellow, Blue
generate a prompt concatenating that color with ONE RANDOMLY CHOSEN PHRASE FROM THE FOLLOWING: Pig, Cat, Dog

I would like to thereby generate three prompts, for example

Red Pig
Yellow Pig
Blue Cat

Where each color is iterated through, followed by a randomly chosen animal.

But importantly, I would like the "generate" button to produce EXACTLY THE SAME images every time, if I set the seed and script identically. In other words, given the same seed, I'd like it to choose the same animals it chose the prior time I used that seed, in the same order.

Hi @Speusippus,

Thank you for reaching out.

While I am not familiar with the intricacies of the "combinatorial generations" setting in Dynamic Prompting, it sounds like you can achieve something similar in Unprompted by setting the _case parameter of [choose] to batch_index.

For example:

[choose _case="{get batch_index}"]pig|cat|dog[/choose]

This will return the following:

Prompt 0: pig
Prompt 1: cat
Prompt 2: dog

The only "gotcha" here is that you must manually set your Batch Count equal to the length of your choose list (3).

(I mean, you could maybe automate it by defining your [choose] list as [array your_array] and then [set batch_count] to [length your_array] but that's getting into more complicated/untested territory.)

We can extend our code to fulfill your Red/Yellow/Blue question:

[choose _case="{get batch_index}"]Red|Yellow|Blue[/choose] [choose]Pig|Cat|Dog[/choose]

The benefit of doing it this way (vs a global "combinatorial" setting) is that our second [choose] block will remain randomized per the seed.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you need any further clarification. :)

Amazing, I knew unprompted gives access to variables like batch number but it just didn't occur to me to use​ the batch number. Sheesh. Every time I return to anything resembling coding I get both "I should have done this for a living" feelings and "I am so stupid" feelings at the same time. Thank you!

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. I typed: [choose _case="{get batch_index}"]Red|Yellow|Blue[/choose] [choose]flower|ball|house[/choose] I set batch count to 3, and batch size to 4. Expected output-- Twelve images: the first four being all red and randomly either a flower, ball or house The next four being all yellow, and either a flower ball or house in the same order as the red selections The final four being all blue, and either a flower ball or house in the same order again. Actual output-- Twelve images: the first four being all red, all balls the second four being all yellow, all flowers the third four being all blue, all flowers Is there a way to get that first output instead, using a similar technique? (I tried it with "syncronize with main seed" both selected and deselected, this did not seem to make a difference.)

Hi @Speusippus, thank you for clarifying. I think I'll need to improve support with batch_size to help you accomplish this - let me see what I can do.

Hi @Speusippus,

Unprompted v9.13.0 adds a slew of features that will hopefully let you achieve what you set out to do. How does this look?

To do this, you'll need to update your template in a couple places:

[seed "100 + {get batch_size_index}"][choose _case="{get batch_count_index}"]Red|Yellow|Blue[/choose] [choose]flower|ball|house[/choose]

The new [seed] shortcode will apply an arbitrary seed value for each image. In this case, I'm associating it with the new batch_size_index variable. So the first image starts at seed 100, and it goes up by 1 for each successive image until the batch is completed.

At the dawn of the next batch, the batch_size_index value will automatically go back to 0, which means our seed goes back to 100.

Meanwhile, the Red|Blue|Yellow choice block is determined by batch_count_index (formerly batch_index - they do the same thing but I might remove batch_index later because it's a bit vague.)

Anyhow, hopefully that makes sense and does the job. Let me know if you have any further questions.
