Keep Highest/Drop Lowest ?

[Trenloe]

I will give this fix a try later today when I get home, but I am curious how I would implement the "not-so-quick-fix" and actually make it so my rolld result IS recognized as a number. Thanks a million for the advice though... this one was driving me bananas.

See the supported types in the dragdata entry - 2nd paragraph here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdoc/dragdata.xcp

The not-so-quick-fix would be to write an onDrop() handler on the target control/s to get the correct data out of your custom dragdata object - this is a lot of work and would require messing around with base ruleset templates/definitions for a controls. It's much better to simply change the resulting chat message type to "dice" so that any control in the ruleset that can accept a number from a dice dragdata object will be able to accept it. And the result of your rolld code is a set of dice anyway, so this makes sense...

I agree, that is a lot more work than would fit this extension. Thank you again for the help. I plan on putting together an updated version of this extension file and posting a release in the main forums some time later this evening. I am sure this is a bit of functionality that will find good use amongst the community.

Will this work with the current version of Castles & Crusades?

Yeah it will. Get the latest extension from here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...west-Extension and add Castles and Crusades as a ruleset to extension.xml.

I just updated the download file on my website to include "Castles and Crusades" in the ruleset list, but since I don't own this ruleset myself I cannot confirm for sure that this will work. I certainly can't see why it wouldn't, but it is the first one included I myself didn't test on my machine. Other than that, the only other change is a minor type-o correction.

Hi DMFirmy - I just tested with C&C and it works there also.

@damned: Thanks a ton!

DMFirmy - what is the code that makes your Dice Result draggable?
I have a need to be able to drag some dice rolls for my Maelstrom ruleset.
I can drag your Dice Result into the target field ok - but my particular rolls dont drag.

@damned: This is the thing that I had the hardest time figuring out as well. Trenloe pointed my at the answer further up the thread:

The ability score number field only accepts drops that are a number. It doesn't recognise your customer type of "rolld" as having a number portion and so doesn't do anything with it. A quick fix is to change the rMessage.type in the createChatMessage function to be "dice", i.e. rMessage.type = "dice"; This will allow you to drag a rolld result to an ability score field and the total of the roll will be populated in the field.

hes kinda helpful isnt he...

I/we might need him again to point me in teh right direction....

My campaign\template_char.xml contains:

<!-- PC Init Roll -->
	<template name="number_pcinitroll">
		<basicnumber>
			<tooltip><text>Initiative. Double Click to Roll. 2d10+Speed. Highest Initiative Acts First.</text></tooltip>
			<rollable />
			<anchored width="40" height="20" offset="0,100">
			</anchored>

		</basicnumber>
	</template>
<!-- END Init Roll -->

and my campaign\record_char_combat.xml contains:

			<number_pcinitroll name="pcinit" source="char.init">
				<anchored to="initframe" position="insidetopleft" offset="85,17" />

			<script>
				function action(draginfo)
					local nodeWin = window.getDatabaseNode();
					if nodeWin then
						local rActor = ActorManager.getActor("pc", window.getDatabaseNode());
						Debug.console("rActor:");
						Debug.console(rActor);
						Debug.console("end rActor!");
						local nSpeed = window.Speed.getValue();
						Debug.console("nSpeed:" .. nSpeed .. "!");
						Debug.console(nSpeed);
						local nPenalty = window.penalty.getValue();
						Debug.console("nPenalty:" .. nPenalty .. "!");
						Debug.console(nPenalty);
						local nTotal = getValue();
						local sDesc = "[INIT 2d10 + Speed - Armour Penalty] result ";
						local rRoll = { sType = "init", sDesc = sDesc, aDice = {"d10","d10"}, nMod = nSpeed-nPenalty };
						ActionsManager.performAction(draginfo, rActor, rRoll);
	
					end
					return true;
				end
				
				function onDragStart(button, x, y, draginfo)
					return action(draginfo);
				end

				function onDoubleClick(x,y)	
					return action();
				end
			</script>
			</number_pcinitroll>
			<number_charabilitytemp name="Speed" source="abilities.speed.temp">
				<anchored to="initframe" position="right" offset="100"/>
			</number_charabilitytemp>		
 			<number_armourpenalty name="penalty" source="ac.totals.penalty" />

So Im having some difficulty identifying the right type to change....
