Hello, not sure of the subject is correct ,but what I would like to know is how do you set up a trigger to play the value in random.

example Patter you have slain* Value eat that scum!!!
die dog!!!!
how's that !
etc.... then goes back to the 1st one. A loop.
Simple question....but I'm a simple person!

rubitinmsg={"die dog!!!"|"Howzat?!?!"|"Eat that, Scum!"}
#TR {You have slain*} {%item( @rubitinmsg, %random( 1, %numitems( @rubitinmsg))) %1}
That randomly picks from the message... to actually cycle through...also have:

rubcount=0
#TR {You have slain*} {%item( @rubitinmsg, @rubcount)
#ADD rubcount 1}

But when playing with automatic emotes/says from triggers, random is kinda cool.

Thanks But sorry I have no idea how to convert that line into action.
I understand the trigger,but what is the alias,the variable.Cause I set it up as such....trigger pattern <you have slain*> and typed the rest in the value box...%item (@rubitinmsg,@random 1,numitems {@rubitinmsg)))%1.like that.Made a variable rubitinmsg..and put the 3 actions below.....tested it and I got all 3 actions up on the screen with a prompt...What is it you wish to do?I know its right but I have set it up wrong...Sorry..new at this but interested

For the random one, Caled calls on %1 in the trigger but doesn't set it to any value, so remove %1 from the value section. So, you would paste:

rubitinmsg={"die dog!!!"|"Howzat?!?!"|"Eat that, Scum!"}
#TR {You have slain*} {%item( @rubitinmsg, %random( 1, %numitems( @rubitinmsg)))}

For the looping one, Caled forgot to reset the count when it has reached the last item in your list. So you would do this:

#TR {You have slain*} {%item( @rubitinmsg, @rubcount)
#ADD rubcount 1
#IF (@rubcount=%numitems(@rubitinmsg)) {rubcount=1}}
