I see two possible issues:
1) With the random phrases, you are only limited by how many files you feel like creating. With costumes, you are limited to FIVE and you only have that many after hitting level 40.
2) You have to wait 30 seconds after a costume change before you can change it again.

Thanks for the link all_hell. It was posted in that other thread I mentioned. Gonna go ahead and PM the author to ask him some questions.
As for the 30 second cooldown on costume changes I don't see that bein' a problem since I'm planning on binding the switch to powers that'll be recharging in near 30s.

) Also, if you use the CC emotes with the change, I think the cool down is only 15 seconds... or was, I rarely have a need for rapid costume changes so I never checked. :P

Hey fellow forumites. I read a thread about using batch files to randomly select various phrases for a character to say. I'd like to modify the idea to have my concept shapeshifter change costumes at random when I use certain powers. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with how to setup and use batch files and I've lost track of the thread. If anyone knows how to work with them oor even if my idea is possible I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance
