Hi, I've been trying to make this work for a while now, just cant, maybe i'm too tired.
Ok here's the deal, I have a variable "@allexits" and I need to substract the current room exits from it at a given point, then pick a random exit from the remaining ones to use in a command.
@allexits = n|s|e|w|u|d

I'm using %roomexit to get the current room exits, but I cant substract them directly from the @allexits variable, so I guess I need to separate each item in the @exits variable (wich is called with %roomexit function). and when all that is done, I have to pick a random non-room-exit from the remaining in @allexits variable and use it in a comand like
kick "random non-exit direction" mob
any guidance through this?

It has all the concepts you mentioned, but I couldn't quite figure out how you really wanted it structured. I figure you are probably going to be staying in the same room so it makes more sense to proccess the list once for the room rather then rebuilding it every time.

#ALIAS PrepKick {KickDirs="";#FORALL "n|s|e|w|u|d" {#IF (%ismember("%i",%roomexit)=0) {#ADDITEM KickDirs {%i}}}}
#ALIAS RndKick {kick %item(@KickDirs,%eval(%random(%numitems(@KickDirs)+1)) %1}

Great, never thought of that way, I was trying to handle the variables more and made a mess. Works like a charm, thanks.
