How do I make a link go to a completely random page using scripts? Either that or one of multiple set pages?

For example:

%RANDVAR := 1D2

IF %RANDVAR = 1 THEN $DEST = @P04

IF %RANDVAR = 2 THEN $DEST = @P05

Randvar represents a random variable. Obviously, the 1D2 will be replaced with the dice roll of your preference. You would then use IF-THEN statements to adjust the destination of the link to the pages you want.

So I put this in my link script?

Yep.

Yes.

Thanks.

You're welcome. If you need any more help, just let me know. :)

%RANDVAR := 1D2

IF %RANDVAR = 1 THEN $DEST = @P04

IF %RANDVAR = 2 THEN $DEST = @P05

Remember that it's actually @P4 instead of @P04. You don't need the zero, and I'm not sure whether it'll mess up the code or not if you put it there, but you definitely don't need it there. 

It won't mess it up, and I feel that it helps organization when you start getting into double digits. I don't want to accidently put @P4 when I mean @P41. If I put @P04, I'll know that that page is the page I want and that I didn't just mistype.
