| I need a timer which works with a normal send of a fixed number or word, but I want it to randomize the number from 1 to 10.
DoAfter(math.random(50.6, 51.0)+1, Send (" " .. math.random(1,10))
The first part works by itself if I just use "" with anything between. How can I clean this up so it sends the number from 1 to 10 betwen those times? Thanks! | | Top |

| The Send function is immediately evaluated, so you need to evaluate it afterwards, like this:
DoAfterSpecial (math.random(50, 51)+1, 'Send (" " .. math.random(1,10))' , sendto.script)
BTW, math.random with two arguments takes integers, not floating point numbers. You are probably better off reworking that a bit (eg. add 50 instead of 1, and get a random number in the range 1 to 10, divide by 10, and add that). |
