So, I've been trying for awhile to get this to work. Apparantly I'm not very good with MUSH.
I wanna make an alias, say, IL KELP that will choose from a list of kelp illusions and pick a random one to send.
Any ideas?

Never randomize your illusions.
Edit: The question mark made it seem like more of a question, and less of a fact.

I'm not sure if this will work, because I haven't tested it, but it should. Put this text in your script file:
And this should be an alias. (Check the regular expressions checkbox)
It should be pretty obvious how to add new illusions and illusion groups in the script file.

math.randomseed(os.time())

CODE
Alias: ^\s*IL\s+([:alnum:]+)\s*$
Send:
if illusions["%1"] and #(illusions["%1"]) > 0 then
rand = math.random(#(illusions["%1"]))
Send(illusions["%1"][rand])
else
Note("No such illusion group")
end

You don't like Revolg? I love Revolg.

I made a random-illusion plaything to learn more about lua. It worked, in the end. I was very pleased, although Trevize showed me where I was going wrong. Random stuff like that is -great- on learning new things on a language that's still mysterious.
It works now. Yay.
Also, some amount of variety is definitely beneficial to illusions when you just want to make someone eat a certain herb. You could achieve this through memorizing several different macros for a set of kelp illusions, or by randomly picking from a set. I'd rather choose the second, because I already have too many. As long as you know they mostly all work, you only lose a little effectiveness.
And what has Revolg done to you, Soludra

I... honestly can't remember. I'm too lazy to grep through my logs, either.

I didn't do much as a Paladin. It was probably from then lol.
Thank you for the help with the script.
