Soulpour777, thank you heartily, that totally solves my problem, you are a gentleman and a scholar!

So then what would I do to get the string in the array into a string variable? Here you go: array = ["test","test2","test3","test4","test5","tes t6"] index = rand(array.size) #$game_message.add "random "+[index] msgbox puts [index] I get "nil" in the msgbox, I added that for a reason I've since forgotten in a haze of frustration.

Cool, thank you both a ton! I'm going to try both of these out and see which one works best!

I can do that part easily enough, I mean making certain enemies attack another enemy if they come into contact with them,

Thank you kindly sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar!

Ummmm...what script?

I'm starbrother! I have been making games since I was a kiddo, and now I've got the time and (some of the) skills to start making the games I used to imagine. Rmvx ace is my favorite development environment (followed by unity, then renpy) by far and I think the 2d rpg is vastly underused as a storytelling tool. This website is pretty neato, I hope to sharpen my skills and learn about scripting in rgss3 here.

Nicely done bro
