I have a boss with a lot of random attacks, this boss throws you different types of rolling drums, in different directions.
That's why I need he to act randomly when choosing which attack to use.
But until now I have not managed to make it work the way I want it to.

Here my try:
Code: 
anim follow13
    loop    0
    offset    82 162
    bbox    0 0 0 0
        @cmd    layer -1
        fshadow 0
    delay    20
        @cmd    attack1 50 200 200 "ANI_FOLLOW14"
    frame    data/chars/gang3/truck/spawn1.png
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self"); //get calling entity
int random = (openborvariant("elapsed_time")/2)%6+1; //random number from 1 to 3
    if(frame == 2)
    {
      if(random == 1){  //if random number is 1
          changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL")); //move to freespecial
      }else{ //if random number is not 1
          changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL" + random)); //move to freespecial matching the random number
      }
    }
@end_script

Thanks my friend, but I know that method.
I prefer use something like my try, only one script with all animations and a random % to use one.

Finally I found the solution here:

Dante, watch out for how you change the animation to attacks. When the animation is an attack, you need to use "performattack" instead of changing the animation. Peformattack, as far as I remember, will trigger internal flags (like "attacking") which ate triggered when you are executing an attack.

If you only change the animation, those flags won't be set. And this can cause strange behaviours, like the ai won't try to block those attacks - because it doesn't know that animation is an attack. And the engine won't try to block things which aren't attacks.

Thanks for this info my friend, but in this case I use your script for different anim follows for the new boss Truck.
He throw you different types of drums  in different directions, so with your script and a different anim follows, all works perfect.
