Hi all,

        Here's a thing that I've been wondering about for a while, but
have been unable to do.

 Is it possible to create a script that will truly randomise say, the
name you will play as when the script is executed.

I've seen the insult generator but all that does is step on not
randomise :(

Wow.  Well, that's pretty cool in itself.  Is there still any place up
that has examples of these kind of scripts?

thanks in advance (just for still being there),

Blessed was not addressing the problem of randomly generating aliases,
but illustrating the ease of alias generated insults :)

For Quake2 only, my program ConsolePlus gives you a variable named
"dice" which holds a random number from 1-6 that changes every 5
seconds.

Simple aliasses will do the trick..

// example
alias insult01 "say You moron !;alias nextinsult insult02"
alias insult02 "say ... !;alias nextinsult insult03"
..
..
alias insultxy "say Naked Gun 33 1/3 !;alias nextinsult insult01"

// the alias and bind to insult
alias nextinsult "insult01"
bind <key> "nextinsult"

//or if you want to insult while shooting:
alias nextinsult "insult01"
alias +shootandinsult "nextinsult;+attack"
alias -shootandinsult "-attack"


These aliasses will do the trick.

The above DOESN'T do what he wants, because he wants random aliases,
not simply to step from one to the next.

You're right -- my mistake.  :(
