Posted: 09 Aug 2006 05:19 Subject: Randomize!
Variety is the spice of life!
***DISCLAIMER*** I can't be blamed if it makes people want to constantly snuggle/tickle/prod/poke you to see all your fun responses!
#class {emote}
#al {emon} {t+ emote}
#al {emoff} {t- emote}
put all triggers in this class, as you don't always want them going off, especially with emote costing balance.
#tr {* pets you *} {emote=%random( 1, 3)
#if {@emote=1} {
em scratches you lovingly
}
#if {@emote=2} {
em mewls piteously
}
#if {@emote=3} {
em stares up at you with wide eyes, hoping you'll scratch behind her ears
}}
#var {emote} {1}
basically what it does is say the variable emote will have a random value between a and b (a, b ), then you make an if for each value it could have. I just did 3 for example, but you can obviously have more.
This is a cute setting that makes people giggle, but it also can be applied to more interesting things, eg a list of people to randomly choose from to chameleon as.

more practical application of this idea - randomizing which limb you target, a nice way to deal with people who shift their parry - you still do damage AND limb destruction.
note - it is random, so the balance is between missing an x% of the time but still slowly wearing away at limbs, or hitting all the time and not doing any hurt to their targetted areas.
i won't even go into the debate of how/why to use targetted attacks, I'm sure that's a big discussion...
anyways, the code:
#al {rton} {rt=1} - rt for random target
#al {rtoff} {rt=0}
#al {rt} {rrt;rlt} - rrt for random right target, rlt for random left target
#al {rrt} {
targetting=%random( 1, 6)
#if {@targetting=1} {target head with right}
#if {@targetting=2} {target torso with right}
#if {@targetting=3} {target right arm with right}
#if {@targetting=4} {target left arm with right}
#if {@targetting=5} {target right leg with right}
#if {@targetting=6} {target left leg with right}
}
#al {rlt} {
targetting=%random( 1, 6)
#if {@targetting=1} {target head with left}
#if {@targetting=2} {target torso with left}
#if {@targetting=3} {target right arm with left}
#if {@targetting=4} {target left arm with left}
#if {@targetting=5} {target right leg with left}
#if {@targetting=6} {target left leg with left}
}
#tr {^You have recovered balance *} {#if @rt=1 {rt}}
working on a random parry, but with parry I want to NOT switch if they hit a spot I am already parrying...taking a bit more time to figure that out...
any suggestions to tweaks for this are appreciated!

If I really put the effort into it I'd make the random parry. But I WOULD randomise if it moves when they actually hit parry. So sometimes it will move, sometimes it won't.
Saying that, I hate the idea of auto-ing parry altogether.

well, randomizing whether i stay parried or randomly parry another thing would be easy, it's working out the case of if they hit my parry...for some reason zmud isn't liking AND and OR.

for Sir Gillbert, since you mentioned this in quotes section:
rvon - #al {rv= 1} enables random venom
rvoff - #al {rv=0} disables
then in your normal dsl alias just toss in this line:
#if @rv=1 {rv} {}
then have a variable stringlist of all the venoms you have (useful to have anyways)
#var {venoms} {monkshood|kalmia|gecko|etc|etc}
then make another alias
#al {rvr} {envenom @swordr with %item(@venoms, %random(1, %numitems(@venoms)))
envenom @swordl with %item(@venoms, %random(1, %numitems(@venoms)))}
swordr and swordl being your respective weapons
note: done without testing while quite sleepy, so if it needs to be tweaked, sorry
