Script help for a newbie
 
Hi,

I would like to create a script which when triggered will pick a random respons from an already predetermined list.

Exaple
#Trigger {They are not here} - Send #ECHO (text), howerver I want each time the tigger {They are not here} is triggered, to have configured 10 different echoes which will show randomly from the same trigger.
Exaple

#ECHO mob1
#ECHO mob2
#ECHO mob3
#ECHO mob4

My problem is that I can't get the trigger to randomize each #ECHO, so I just keep getting the same #ECHO over and over.

If I use:
#TRIGGER {They are not here} {%random 1,10}
and under %random have all the #ECHOs, the trigger will simply prompt numbers.

Example, when its triggered the %random 1,10 will show "52" or some other random number.

Does anyone have a good idea on how I can make this work ?

Regards
Mikael

Wrong section of the forums.... but I will fix that.
This answer assumes you are using CMUD:

First you need to put your options into avariable

$mobs=mob1|mob2|mob3|mob4

then to pick a random member of that would be:

$thisMob=%item($mobs, (%random(1, %numitems($mobs)))

and then you would perform whichever action you want to do on $thisMob
