Hello

I would like an script that can take lines of strings and send them randomly every 10 seconds if i am away and receive a message but only send the message once every 10 seconds and only if the contact has sent a message

example:

contact: hi
me: Automessage: randomline
10+ seconds later
contact: hi
me: Automessage: randomline2
less than 10 seconds later
contact: hi
... (nothingness)
10+ seconds later
contact: hi
me: Automessage: randomline3

Hello Aztek,

I understand that you want the script to send a random message, ten seconds after a contact has sent a message to you (please correct me if I'm wrong)?

no the message is sent instantly after reciving a message but if the contact says something within 10 seconds nothing is sent but if he/she waits for over 10 seconds to send the next message another random message is sent

Okay..

I have an idea that _should_ work (can't guarantee though):

code:

---

var RandomMessages = new Array("Message 0","Message 2",...,"Message9"); // no further than 9
OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(pChatWnd,mOrigin,sMessage,kMsgKind) {
      cWnd = pChatWnd;
      if(!TimerStarted) {
            if(mOrigin != Messenger.MyName) {
                  TimerStarted = true;
                  MsgPlus.AddTimer("TmrMsg",10000);
            }
      } else {
            MsgPlus.CancelTimer("TmrMsg");
            TimerStarted = false;
      }
      return sMessage;
}

function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId) {
      if(sTimerId == "TmrMsg") {
            if(TimerStarted) {
                  cWnd.SendMessage(RandomMessage());
                  MsgPlus.AddTimer("TmrMsg",10000);
            }
      }
}

function RandomMessage() {
      Index = Math.random().charAt(4);
      return RandomMessages[Index];
}

EDIT::

Maybe you should prefix the messages with "AutoMessage: ", since this uses Plus!'s AutoMessage feature (when a personalised status is used)..

how could i put more than 9 ??

Uhm.. Please let me think for another 10 seconds....

EDIT::

Change the last function to:[

code:

---

var Index = new Array();

function RandomMessage() {
      Index[0] = Math.random().charAt(4); // could be any number between 2 and 18
      Index[1] = Math.random().charAt(7); //  // could be any number between 2 and 18
      Index[2] = Math.random().substr(Index[0],Index[1]); // Please note!! You need 99 messages, or the chat will send "undefined";
      return RandomMessages[Index[2]];
}

---

nice but could you send the entire script ?

im having problems assembling this thingy

as i said, im VERY bad at jscript (or well i did on irc)

edit: oh and i have 460 messages to put into the script

I'm sorry, I no longer have time now, have to go.
I'll give it another try tomorrow..

ermmm... that is the most "original" method I've seen to get a random number between x and y...

The proper way would be to multiply the random number (which is always a decimal number between 0 and 1) with a certain upper bound number to enlarge it, and maybe add another lower bound number to start the random number from...

Math.floor((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Math.random() + lowerbound);

see "CookieRevised's reply to [Request] Random Number Generator"...

And you might also check "CookieRevised's reply to Random numbers, prevent from being used more than once" for a snippet very related to this random message sending stuff...

Anyways, the script you've posted so far doesn't work at all like Aztek wanted.

Sorry to be so negative though... But way cool that you at least tried to help.

Anyways, Aztek, did you already checked the official scripting Database? I wouldn't be surprised if the script you ask for already exists...

CookieRevised, could you fix it ?
