How to Randomize Whether Followers are Male/Female

I have searched around and not been able to locate this info anywhere... I want to be able to make it random whether a follower you get can be either male/female, such as a Thief, warrior, etc...  Is there a way to do this?  Would i use a variable?

Genders and classes aren't usually synonymous, and 'gender' doesn't exist within RPG Maker by default. So are we talking about Actors, Classes, Actor Graphics, or script settings? We need to know what you mean by 'gender'.


Edit -

Just want to add that, yes, you would use the random function on a variable in most cases.


Randomize the value of the variable, then have a conditional branch check for that value.

But I think what you are wanting to know is that you would either need to set up an actor for each - a male thief and a female thief and then use the random variable to add that actor to the party - or just have that variable change the actor graphic to a male or female.

ty for the responses... by gender i meant  male/female... and i do have the actor graphics for both, so i will just set a variable that will determine whether the follower that is added is male or female...
