How to generate random name with previous nametag in Screeps?

Question

In the Screeps software game, I start crawling using:

if(transporters.length < 0 && harvesters.length > 2) {
var newName = Game.spawns['SpawnZone'].createCreep([WORK,CARRY,MOVE], undefined, {role: 'transporter'});
console.log('Spawning new Transporter: ' + newName);
}

The 'undefined' tag should spawn a creep with a random name. Now I'm wondering, because I have different types of creeps, if I can add roulette to it? For example, [Transporter] RandomName.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can implement a function that will generate a name in the desired format and replace it undefinedwith the generated name. From the Screeps documentation :

createCreep (body, [name], [memory])

    do {
        var nameArray = Math.random() > .5 ? names1 : names2;
        name = nameArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * nameArray.length)];

        if (tries > 3){
            name += nameArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * nameArray.length)];
        }

        tries++;
        isNameTaken = Game.creeps[name] !== undefined;
