Basically, I'm trying to set up a random trigger, and it works well except that it occasionally uses the same line multiple times.

Is there anyway to set a if or something to check if its used a certain part of an alias? Or am i going about this all wrong.

One way to go about this is to create a copy of the possible lines. Then, when the trigger fires, you randomly select one, do whatever you need with it, and then delete it from the list of copies. Next time the trigger fires, you do the same thing again, but all lines that have already been selected, are not eligible since they have been deleted from the list. Once the list of copies goes empty, you fill it once more from the original. If you want some lines to appear more than once in each "cycle", just put it more than once in the list of possibilities.

Notice that this is all very general, since I don't know any specifics about your script, but this should get you going.
