[WeakAuras] Action announcement

[Lochton]

Heya all!

Is there an ability to under 'Actions' (chat message) setup for a random outcome, so you don't get the same message always?

[Lochton]

None able with a little note on it?

[Generics]

What about putting something like this under "Custom" (click one of the custom check boxes in the Action tab, then enter this into the text box that shows up):

    local x = math.random(100); 
    if (x > 50) then
        SendChatMessage("yay", "say");
    else
        SendChatMessage("nay", "say");
    end

If you have a lot of possible messages then the code is easier to read and maintain if you use a table.

local strings = {"text 1", "text 2", "text 3"}

SendChatMessage(strings[math.random(#strings)], "SAY")

Thanks you two. I'll snoop along and see what I can make.
