Ok, I've used your suggestion to create the following script and it's not working quite right. What I am attempting to do is to create a single button that cycles through a number of emotes and to send that emote each time the button is displayed.

The script is cycling through the various aliases, but does not send the emote on each keypress of the button. It will do something weird however when you untick one of the emotes, it will get stuck on the emote preceeding the unticked emote and send that one sucessfully... can you spot what I am doing wrong please? Why is getting stuck when the IF/THEN/END statement should skip to the next statement and it's sending it only then? Does it have something to do with the RETURN in that IF/THEN statement? Is it possible to return out of the function successfully each on each keypress? It has me stumped!
