Ok! Thank you very much for the advice :matte-motes-grin:

[acting on another persons attachment]

Just wondered if anyone could tell me if I can say something in chat that can activate a script in another (willing) person's attachment. Don't want to start down the long path ...with my limited abilities.......if it's not actually possible! Big thank you's!!! :matte-motes-big-grin-wink:

Perfection!!!! Thank you so much Dora!!!!

[Magic 8 Ball]

Hi Guys. Can anyone suggest the best way to make this 8 ball script only answer questions in local chat, that are posed by the owner? I have looked at channels and listeners, but can't seem to make it happen. :(( Thank you :))

1. Ask a question that I can respond to with a yes or no answer.
2. Say something in chat that ends with a question mark, like this line you're reading?
3. If the answer seems wrong.. ask if it's lieing ;)
