Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to make string lists and I really don't get it. I have this line of text {You finish mixing up your * potion} and I want to make it so I can have a number of different responses. I was told I should make a string list of all the different responses, but I'm not sure it that will work since the responses are not just one word. An example of the responses would be {say done mixing potion} and {emote admires a perfect potion} So, how would I set it up so I could have the same line of text with these responses randomly selected one at a time?

A stringlist doesn't have to be single word items.

If there are no special characters then you can just create them as below.
myList = {say done mixing potion|emote admires a perfect potion|emote dances about, waving a potion bottle in the air|say Yup, that's done}

If there are then just put each string in quotes.
myList = {"say {done} mixing potion"|"emote (admires a) perfect potion"|"emote dances about, +-*waving a potion bottle in the air"|"say Yup, that's done"}

Then to pick a random one
#say %item(@myList,%random(1, %numitems(@myList)))
