I have a small understanding of variables and how they work in an alias.

I was curious if there was a way to make an alias that fires random items in a cycle

Example,

If I set an alias to F1 and I press F1 I'd like it to do the following

Fire Flame

then if I press F1 again

Fire Ice and so on ..

basically shooting preset variables in a certain order and when it reaches the end starts over from the first item.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

#VAR Cycle {Fire Fire|Fire Ice|Fire Aire|Fire Earth|
#VAR CurrentCycle 1

#KEY F1 {%item(@Cycle,@CurrentCycle);#ADD CurrentCycle 1;#IF (@CurrentCycle > %numitems(@Cycle)) {#VAR CurrentCycle 1)}

Hi!

I appreciate the reply but was unable to get the below script to work correctly.

I closed

#VAR Cycle {Fire Fire|Fire Ice|Fire Aire|Fire Earth|

With a } because I thought it was missing one.

And when I did that.. It worked .. sorta.. if I were using Numbers 1-4

1 woudl fire.. skip 2.. 3 would fire.. and then it wouldn't repeat..

Did i copy it in wrong?

#VAR Cycle {Fire Fire|Fire Ice|Fire Aire|Fire Earth|
#VAR CurrentCycle 1

#KEY F1 {%item(@Cycle,@CurrentCycle);#ADD CurrentCycle 1;#IF (@CurrentCycle > %numitems(@Cycle)) {#VAR CurrentCycle 1)}

You should take out the last | in the variable.
#VAR Cycle {Fire Fire|Fire Ice|Fire Aire|Fire Earth}
