alias colgos -->

#math tempsay
#loop %len( "%-1") {#if (%random( 1)=0) {#math tempsay @tempsay+%C%random( 1, 7)+%copy( "%-1", %i, 1)} {#math tempsay @tempsay+%B%random( 1, 7)+%copy( "%-1", %i, 1)}}
gossip @tempsay

so colgos blah
makes me gossip blah, each letter a different color =)

Now i wanted to make it more usable for other channels then gossip.

alias -> colgos
#echo Color This!

so i type colgos tell tom - hi

thought trigger should be Color this! (*) - (*)

#math tempsay
#loop %len( "%-1") {#if (%random( 1)=0) {#math tempsay @tempsay+%C%random( 1, 7)+%copy( "%-1", %i, 1)} {#math tempsay @tempsay+%B%random( 1, 7)+%copy( "%-1", %i, 1)}}
%1 @tempsay

This is probably something easy, but I'm just learning these commands too....

(eventually i'll know them all...hell will freeze over, but i will =) )

Hello I am kind of new too and I have only been doing this about a year but thanks I had a lot of fun with this one. I put it in a folder called color. JUst make a new folder and in class script cut and past whole thing.

The problem has to do with setting the first tempsay.

Ok i posted a script but it did not work right,but after a nother hour i finally got it. Istead of useing "colgos" use "color"

#CLASS {color}
#ALIAS colgos {#math tempsay;#loop %len( "%-1") {#if (%random( 1)=0) {#math tempsay @tempsay+%C%random( 1, 7)+%copy( "%-1", %i, 1)} {#math tempsay @tempsay+%B%random( 1, 7)+%copy( "%-1", %i, 1)}};@pretext @tempsay}
#VAR tempsay {%C1a%B1l%C1l%C2 %C7f%B6a%C4l%C6l%C2 %B7d%B6o%C6w%B6n}
#VAR pretext {we}
#TRIGGER {color (%w) (*)} {#gag;#var pretext %1;colgos %2}
#CLASS 0

Cut and past this to a new folder in the class scripts tab. Assume that all @var are located within this class.

have fun I am posting this to the finished mud scripts, for the world to love.

I haven't analyzed your alias, but possible problems from a quick glance include:
%C%random( 1, 7)
You should probably use a ~ before %C, since % is a special character.

colgos tell Tom - hi
It's probably a bad idea to use math symbols, such as the minus sign, with an alias that relies heavily on the #MATH command.

You don't seem to be doing any actual math, so #MATH probably isn't the best choice.
