Zugg Software :: View topic - Random reply trigger/variables not working!

Hello again,
I've looked through the forum, but still am coming up at a loss for my problem.

I have a bot set up to accept donations and thank the person for giving the specific item. (trigger: ^(%w) gives you (*) value: tell %1 Thanks for the %2). That works fine.

What I would *like* to do is have it give one of 10 responses to thank them for their donation. Here is where my problem is coming in however. I left the trigger the same ( ^(%w) gives you (*)), in the value box I have:
%item(@Responses, %random(1, %numitems(@Responses)).

I set up the variables in the following manner:
#VAR Responses {tell %1 blah blah %2|tell %1 bleh bleh %2|...}

Now, when someone gives me something, it tries to send all 10 replies at once, and also fails to see their name as indicated by the trigger, which tells me it would also fail to see what they have given me.

I'm still a bit new to the scripting process, I'm trying to inch my way deeper into it, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in this situation.

Any help would be Greatly appreciated.

Using variables inside other variables is tricky and seldom necessary. In this instance, I'd recommend #CASE.

#TR {(%w) gives you (*)} {#CASE %random(1, 2) {tell %1 blah blah %2} {tell %1 bleh bleh %2}}

Thanks for the suggestion...
I tried it and though it filled in the name and donation, it still sent all of the cases.

One thing that I didn't do was put the brackets outside of the #CASE statement. When I tried it wouldn't save. Any other things that I might not be doing right?

It works. I've tested it. The only thing I can think of is that you might have changed something in your preferences or have some other setting (trigger, alias, etc) that's causing it to send all of them.

I figured it out. :o)
I actually didn't need the (1,2,3...ect) in the trigger.

#TR ^(%w) gives you (*)
#CASE %random {tell %1 blah blah %2} {tell %1 bleep bleep %2}

It works! But, Lightbulb, again you have come to my rescue and I thank you so much. Without you, I would have never thought of using a case statement. I'm glad there are the knowledgeable people out there like yourself that can help newbies (n00bies if you prefer...) like myself.
