New to frame widgets. For some reason it's not triggering off of "CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL", but works fine for "VARIABLES_LOADED". Even if I removed the variable check, it still won't work.

Not 100% sure as I'm still new to LUA, but don't you need to declare your table outside your if's if you intend to use it in another event scope? Also init it on an onLoad instead.

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_WHISPER")
f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL")
f:RegisterEvent("VARIABLES_LOADED")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", myMod_OnEvent)
f:SetScript("OnLoad", myMod_OnLoad)

local myMod_Random

function myMod_OnLoad()
      myMod_Random = {}
end

function myMod_OnEvent()
	if (event == "VARIABLES_LOADED") then
		if (not myMod_Enabled) then
			myMod_Enabled = true;
		end
		if (not myMod_RandomReply) then
			myMod_RandomReply = false;
		end
	elseif (event == "CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL") then
		table.insert(myMod_RANDOM, arg1);
		if #(myMod_RANDOM) >= 21 then
			table.remove(myMod_RANDOM, 1);
		end
	end
end
