zMUD 7.05

First off, I run 3 characters simultaneously.
I want to make a script that will activate when someone enters the room.
The script will greet the person with 1 out of 5 greetings.
2 of the greetings are blank, so there is a chance to not greet them.

This is where I question the ability to do this.
I want all 3 of my characters to be able to greet the person, but I don't want any 2 of them greeting the same person at the same time.

Note: Since multiple people can enter the room at the same time, of course I want the script to disable itself for 30 seconds, afterwards it will reactivate.

-- Mini-Scenario -- !NOTE! This is what I would like to see if I am watching MyCharacter#3's Screen.

The following will activate script: (Can probably be made into 1 trigger)
<Person> arrives from the <north,east,south,west,northeast,northwest,southeast,southwest>.
<Person> arrives from <above/below>.
<Person> flies in from the <north,east,south,west,northeast,northwest,southeast,southwest>.
<Person> flies in from the <above/below>.
<Person> floats in from the <north,east,south,west,northeast,northwest,southeast,southwest>.
<Person> floats in from the <above/below>.

Scenario:

<Person> arrives from the southeast.

MyCharacter#2 says to <Person>, 'GreetMessage'

<Person> flies in from the north.

Nothing. (Helps to prevent spam)

<Person> arrives from below.

MyCharacter#1 greets <Person> warmly. (Social, Greet <Person>)

<Person> arrives from the east.

MyCharacter#2 says to <Person>, 'AnotherGreetMessage'

Any help appreciated,

Thank you LightBulb, works perfectly, after some adjustment to the %random choices.
