I am playing a MUD that sends this output when smoking a pipe:

You take a long, deep drag on your pipe.

When that comes on screen, I want to emote randomly one of 5 emotes I have set (pipe1, pipe2, etc).

I've tried a few things but they were utter failure. Any help?

Store the 5 emotes in a string list, then use %random to get a random number from 1 to 5, and %item to get the item in the list at that position. Something like this:

#send %item($emotes, %random(1, %numitems($emotes)))

That will allow you to add more variety still without having to edit more then just the array of aliases.

I tried doing what you guys said but all I get from the mud is "what?"

I'm assuming there's more to the code then what you posted. I'll figure it out some other day :)

Do you have echo commands enabled in preferences? Can you see what the script is sending to the MUD?

I am going to guess that you have aliases named pipe1, pipe2, etc. for those emotes. You can either change the #SEND from above to #EXEC, or you could rebuild the whole thing as a single alias like this:

I am assuming I am making this a trigger?

#TRIGGER, #ALIAS, #MACRO, #BUTTON, #MXP....

Which type of setting you put it in is really up to you.
The switch presented to you is just a randomizer.
