| Hello. I'm COMPLETELY NEW to scripting. I have zero experience. I'm usually good at researching for the answers I need, but I just cannot seem to find anything that works. Could someone please help?
Okay here's an example of what I need:
I cast a spell and the world returns with "You cast hurricane."
What I would like is to have a random timer between that notice and me automatically casting again with "Cast hurricane"
**World** "You successfully cast hurricane."
--Random amount of time elapses between 2 and 20 seconds--
**Me** "Cast Hurricane"
I want it to be a one-shot timer, this way I can switch to another task if I need to.
I'm open to LUA or Jscript, but I'll need helping learning how to do either, and setting mushclient up to execute the script. | | Top |

| Here's what I have so far. In all likelihood I could be waaaaay off base. The musclient is saying i have an error on line 2... No clue what to do. Thanks for any help!
function randtimer ( ) {
var randomtimer = (Math.random()*20)+2);
World.DoAfter(randomtimer,"cast hurricane");
} | | Top |

| If you are really new to scripting I suggest you use Lua rather than Jscript. Then it is easy:
<triggers>
<trigger
custom_colour="2"
enabled="y"
match="You cast hurricane."
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
DoAfter(math.random (2, 20), "cast hurricane")
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

| | This particular task is just as easy in Javascript as in Lua. You just have mismatched parentheses on your second line. (2 open, 3 close) |

It might have been easier to help if the original question included the error message. |
