Hi Ppl,

I am new to scripting and am trying something but cannot seem to get it
right. I have a line of text and have defined each char a different colour
using the CTRL K function. I now have created a line that generates a random
number from 1-14 and an trying to substitute the %i for the colour number
in the line. And yes I get the random number. but in the say line get a ton
of %i and all the same colour text.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
Alan

Each person defines each "thing" differently. It would be best if you post
your script here.

Good idea
Very simple, it's my firt, but a try none the less


/vie {
set %i = $rand(1,14)
echo %i
/say %iS13n10i8C7k10ê14r9Ss 2l4IkÊ aN Ëlf
}

In English, what do you want this alias to do? With minor modification, this
alias says out a line with the first "S" being randomly colored. Is that
what you wanted? Note that you should leave spaces around a variable
(although some characters are allowed to stick with a variable, which you'll
know sooner or later). Also, %i seems to be a temporary variable, you should
use var, which lasts only in this alias.

/vie {
var %i = $rand(1,14)
echo %i
/say %i $+ S $+ 13n10i8C7k10ê14r9Ss 2l4IkÊ aN Ëlf
}

U are correct I just want to randomly select the 1st colour and will then
include it along the line, I am using Mirc 6.03. I get the same result with
your version as with mine, at the beginning of the line I get %i$S etc etc,
if I use the set command I can echo the value of %i, not so with the var
command. Colour of the character is always red,

I must have missed a space bar. There should be a space between the color
code and %i . Or you can combine them with $+ .

/vie {
var %i = $rand(1,14)
echo %i
say  $+ %i $+ S $+ 13n10i8C7k10ê14r9Ss 2l4IkÊ aN Ëlf

Many thanks for that, worked a treat, had to remove the echo as it gave an
insufficient parameters error, but I will sort it from there

Thanks
