Here's what I'd like to do. (I've tried some different ways, but none seem to work.)

I'd like a trigger to fire a random response back to the mud after a certain action is performed.

Here's what the command I send:

lick soandso

The mud shows:

You lick him. (You lick her, as the case might be)

And I want a trigger off of "You lick him/her." that will randomize sayings such as..

say Mmm! Raspberry!
say Mmm! Peach!

etc, etc.

Please help!

Thanks!

#trigger {You lick {him|her}.} {say Mmm! %item(@Responses,%random(1,%numitems(@Responses))!}

#variable Responses {Raspberry|Peach}

#alias AddResponse {#if (%null(%1)) {#noop there was nothing to add} {#additem Responses %1}}

If you don't need an alias to add new 'flavors', then a simpler way of doing this would be:

#TRIGGER {You lick {him|her}.} {say Mmm! %case(%random(1,2),Raspberry,Peach)!}

To add more 'flavors' just change the %random(1,2) to %random(1,#), where # is the amount of 'flavors' you have listed in the %case function. For example:

%case(%random(1,4),Raspberry,Peach,Strawberry,Cherry)

Howdy

Just poking around before asking my question.. and I seem to found something similar to what I wanted to use..

#TRIGGER {You lick {him|her}.} {say Mmm! %case(%random(1,2),Raspberry,Peach)!}

Now how would I alter this instead of Random .. to go 1 .. then 2.. 1 .. then 2..etc..

instead of random .. go in consecutive order..

Use a variable that counts how many times it happens (a counter).

#TRIGGER {You lick {him|her}.} {#ADD licks 1;say Mmm! %case(@licks2,Raspberry,Peach)!}
