Pattern:

First off, I'm not sure what you're asking.

If you're just trying to send a random item from a string list to the mud the way you are using just %random isn't going to work. From the documentation:

I carry a bag around with healing friuts I jsut wanted it to "randomly" take one out every 30 ticks and eat it
at each feeding it would randomly pull one from the list
I wasnt having an issue I just didnt know how to do it... and wanted to know what would work.
but I was just using the numbers as an example

{Grapefruit|Bannana|Pear|Apple|Orange}

if this is so like this, this will still work?

get %item(@bagvar, %random(1, %numitems(@bagvar)))

Sry Spent last 2 days slowly absorbing different scripting techniques. getting jummbled...

thanks

Yep that will work for that. Every time it gets called it will send 'get <random fruit from list>' to the mud.

Also if @bagvar never changes you can replace %numitems(@bagvar) with the number of fruits in your list.
