Ok so I don't know how simple or complex this is but I would like to make a simple trigger and alias to do two different things

My trigger is to match '* attacks you!'

What I'd like it to do is output one of four different things at random:

1) yell OH HELP

2) page fcpd %1 is killing me!

3) say Dead or alive you're coming with me

and the alias is 'grief *'

I want it to attack %1 and also output one of three different things at random

1) yell DEAD OR ALIVE YOU'RE COMING WITH ME

2) -%1 You are being greifed please hold still

3) -%1 hey check out my new camera

I'd also like space to add extra ones as I think of them with an equal chance of any among them being used...

I don't know how to do this myself so thanks for any help you can give.

The trigger would look like this:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="* attacks you!"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

local responses = {
  "yell OH HELP",
  "page fcpd %1 is killing me!",
  "say Dead or alive you're coming with me",

-- more here

}

Send (responses  [math.random (1, #responses)])

</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

The alias will be similar.

Ok and how do I implement this? I've been adding triggers through the in game trigger menu.

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

Hate to ressurect this thread, But I can't figure out how to transfer this script into a similar scenario but for a timer.

I'd like to make a timer that every time it fires, sends a random input from a list, but this time each repetition of the timer should be able to do two inputs, for instance

option one:
ping
@me doing is=option one

option two:
ping
@me doing is=this is option two

option three:
ping
@me doing is=and this is option three

It should be similar to the previous in that those two inputs could be anything, and that more should be readily addable to the list... I look forward to your reply and would like to thank you for your previous help and hope you can help me again.
