So I wanted to make a quick text thats only two different lines with a random number generator I tried doing
/ me scan's (!N)'s power level....

(!N)'s power level is (!R)

though I thought (!R) would generate a random number but otherwise (!N) selects everyone in a group convo when I just want to select one person, any ideas on what I should do?

(!N) = Contact Name(s)

So that includes everyone in the conversation.

There isn't a (!R) tag for generating a random number.

I guess I could always work on a script instead of using a quick text then

Yeah, shouldn't be too hard.

Here is info about a random number function which should get you started.

thanks for that link

No offense (I hope), but "[Request] Random Number Generator" gives you a better explaination of how a random number is generated.

pretty much I was using this IRC Script and wanted to use it over WLM

alias scan {
  var %pl $r(1,10000)
  describe $chan scans $1 $+ 's Power Level...
  if ($1 !ison $chan) {
    .timer 1 3 msg $chan $1 is out of range. | halt
  }
  if (%pl > 9000) {
    .timer 1 3 msg $chan its... ITS... ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!( $+ %pl $+ )
  }
  else {
    .timer 1 3 msg $chan $1 $+ 's Power Level is %pl
  }
}
