Absolutely, I'll have to wait till I actually get online before I can post any code, but I'm pretty sure there's an example of doig this already online. I think I did something similar in larry 2 reloaded. check out the sci resources thread to get the link to the leisure suit larry 2 reloaded site and check out the main script. You should see where I randomly change the status. It will be something similar to that except use the room number as the variable instead of what I've got. Anyway I'll try to post some code tomorow that is more specific, but the larry reloaded code might give you some ideas for now.
