I tried to do a $rand, but it did all three at once. So I come asking for help. When I type /play I want it to do one of three things randomly and only one of them /say message 1 /say message 2 /say message 3 My Website

Code: alias random_message { var %num = $rand(1,3) if (%num == 1) return message 1 here elseif (%num == 2) return message 2 here elseif (%num == 3) return message 3 here } Then you could use /timerrndmmsg numberofplays intervalinsecs msg channeloruserhere $random_message Example : /timerrndmmsg 0 10 msg $me $random_message That would message me with a random message every 10 seconds until you disconnect. If you need more information /help /timer /help $rand /help /alias /help if-then-else /help variables Those articles fully explain everything you need to improve or edit my script

You can replace $target with $active if it's an alias and you want it to only do it in the current room/query you are in. If you want it to be a random line that is also a command... Code: $read(textfile.txt) That should do it. If not, let me know and I'll get you a line that will work.
