Hi,
I really have no luck when it comes to putting together a script. Hopefully someone could help me out on this one. What I'm looking for is a script that will send a random command (from a list of commands) every 500 seconds. i.e. Your list is 'emote laugh', 'emote smile', 'emote wave'. Every 500 seconds it'll send randomly one of those commands. Please help! Thanks

you use #alarm to make the timing for 500 seconds. Check the helpfiles for that.
Next, let's say you have the list of commands to do in @cmdlist, then you use %item( @cmdlist, %random(1,%numitems(@cmdlist))) as the executive line for the alarm.

This basically makes a random pick of anything between 1 to the number of items in the list and sends it to the mud when the alarm hits.

edit: if you wish, you can put that %item(...) stuff in an alias and make the #alarm call upon the alias instead. Whichever suits you. (the latter would give you the possibility of calling upon the random commands yourself whenever you want to.
