What I am trying to do and I am unsure how to accomplish it is to create a timer that when it fires sends one of 5 outputs to the mud. Ive looked through the forums and cannot find a solution that was simple enough for my simple self :P

Any help would be greatly apreciated.
thanks in advance

In Lua...


function send_a_random_thing()
  local outputs = {"first","second","third","fourth","fifth"}
  Send(outputs[math.random(#outputs)])
end

Then make your timer call that function.
