Try writing a routine which randomly assigns one of the scene names to a variable - say, "$fight_scene" - and then wherever your (jump_to_scene, ______) operation is being called, change it from the current contents, which will be "scn_XXXXX" of some kind, to "$fight_scene" instead.  As I understand it, that should be all you need.  Note, if you're editing the standard encounter temlate rather than one of your own devising, you'll want to make sure that $fight_scene is set properly for encounters other than the one you're thinking about, too.

i dont really understand what you're saying but what i want is:
i have 3 scenes
battle_scene 1,2 and 3
i want a script that randomly chooses 1 of them or something..

nevermind but i don't understand how to write the routine
and what it has to contain, i'm very unexpirienced

I think you need to spend a lot more time perusing the stuff in Native and figuring out how it works, and reading through Winter's docs, then.  I'm also very inexperienced, prior to the last three weeks or so which have been intensive, but you need to look through header_operations.py and find likely-looking operations, try them out, look for instances of them in the Native code (check out the scripts which randomly select governors' quests, for instance), and so forth.  Otherwise you'll be back here every twenty seconds or so.  That's my first line of recourse, and it's worked well so far.

ok thx

i tried something but what's wrong with this code?

("random_scene_choose",
[
     (store_random_in_range,fight_scene,1,4)
     if fight_scene > 1:
      $fight_sceneb ="scn_battle_scene1"

     if fight_scene > 2:
      $fight_sceneb="scn_battle_scene2"

     if fight_scene > 3:
      $fight_sceneb="scn_battle_scene3"
]),

    if fight_scene > 3:
      $fight_sceneb="scn_battle_scene3"
]),

If "fight_scene" was >3, it would also be >2, >1 etc.
You could use

("random_scene_choose",
 [
     (store_random_in_range,fight_scene,1,4)
     if fight_scene > 1 and < 2:
      $fight_sceneb ="scn_battle_scene1"

     if fight_scene > 2 and < 3:
      $fight_sceneb="scn_battle_scene2"

     if fight_scene > 3 and < 4:
      $fight_sceneb="scn_battle_scene3"
]),

But I don't know if that'll work

You`re using Python code. M&B code is inside the list scripts, but is not python code. It is functions in header_operations.py only:
"if a > 3" is a python code

which won`t work in game (it will be executed at compilation of the module system and be static),

"(ge, "$a", 3)," is M&B code

thx it works now
thx

That makes sense.
