Message groups with a randomizer

Road-block opened this issue ยท 1 comments

This is an enhancement request.

My main usage for this addon would be to replace recruitment ad snippets.
At the moment I am using in-game notepads with the ability to run Lua snippets.
A typical construct I would use is have a couple or three variations in an array and use local msg = msgArray[random(1,#msgArray)] before sending.

So what this would entail is moving the text content of the message object 1 level in and have the addon randomize the output.
Or as a further refinement assign weights to each message so the "business" message goes out 70% of the time and the "humor" 30%.

Anyway that's one use case for pitching my enhancement idea ๐Ÿ˜„

TL;DR: Text content of the message object moved one level deep into an array to make message permutations possible.

I can try pitch it as a pull request if that helps.
