Basically i'm looking for something that will randomize colors on a single channel. I've looked around for something that would work. Looked at a some and tried to get them to work and haven't had any luck so far, so i thought the best thing to do is request one and hope somebody has something that will work or would be willing to write one.

The channel i'm wanting it for is used as such: ot text

The color codes of the mud are: &r &R &g &G &b &B &c &C &p &P &y &Y &w &W

Hope this is enough info, if not let me know and i'll give what i can.

I'm not sure how you put colors in the alias but you can figure that out.

#VAR colors {r|R|g|G|b|B|c|C|p|P|y|Y|w|W}

#ALIAS ot {~ot ~&%item(@colors,%random(1,8)) %-1}
Again Im not sure where in "ot" you put the color code :S

Since i can't write scripts, not due to lack of trying to learn either. Thanks for the help so far, maybe this time around i may fluke it and get a script to work. If anyone knows of a site that has some decent tutorials on learning scripting it would be much appreciated if they could post it. I'm sure many people apart from myself would be interested in a site like that.

How exactly do you use color codes in your mud?

A direct paste from the mud.

&x - Black &r - Red (blood)
&g - Green &O - Orange (brown)
&b - Dark Blue &p - Purple
&c - Cyan &w - Gray (default color)
&z - Dark Grey &R - Light Red
&G - Light Green &Y - Yellow
&B - Blue &P - Pink
&C - Light Blue &W - White

This was written up by someone on Aardwolf.
On Aardwolf, @'s are used for color codes. I'll take a guess that if you change the @'s to &'s you should be fine. Which ones exactly i am not sure.

Vitae, that looks like too much fun not to spend the time to make it work. Thanks for passing it on.

also, looks like you have about 4 more colors than aard does.
you will have to add %replaces, and make additions to the pickcolors alias.
of course, you COULD just decide what 12 colors you want and just change it to reflect that if you'd rather the short cut.
I don't see magenta (M/m) on your list, so you can change the M/m's to a P/p's since magenta is a shade of purple.
