Dice Roll problem

[Trenloe]

Have the buttoncontrol scrip call to window.strikeranktot. then define that up in the windowclass so instead of rollDice it is looking to window.strikeranktot.getValue

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

window.<control_name> is a way of getting access to the control named whatever you put in <control_name> within the current window environment. You can do it a number of different ways. Have the rollDice code in the <windowclass><script> section - which I think is where you have it at the moment, in which case you will need specific references to the controls which might need window.<control_name> to get to them.

If your strikeranktot control is in a different windowclass then you'll need additional window/control references to be able to reach it.

First step - try using window.strikeranktot.getValue() in your current rollDice function.

Nope.

Ok I can get it to work without errors with the following script:

function rollDice()
        local desc = name.getValue().." ("..strikeranktot.getValue()..")"; 
        ChatManager.throwDice("dice",{"d10"},0,desc);
      end

it looks like this with me controlling a character named Brandorn:

I want to add the Strink Rank Total to the dice roll. It finds the SRT fine for the desc, but every time I try to access it in order to add it to the die total it return s a nil value on global or it doesn't like the character such as when I put in the window.strikeranktot.getValue. I would also like a sting that says Initiative after the character's name. but when I tried to add it the thing kicked it back as no good. Thank you for all of your help, you are amazing.

Which ruleset is this for? Is this based upon CoreRPG?

Make sure the numberfield tag for strikeranktot is <numberfield name = ... not <Numberfield name = ... as per your post above. Then add this version of rollDice to the script block attached to the window class that contains the strikeanktot numberfield:

function rollDice()
 sStrikerAnkTot = strikeranktot.getValue();
 sDesc = name.getValue() .. " (".. sStrikerAnkTot .. ")"; 
 ChatManager.throwDice("dice",{"d10"},tonumber(sStrikerAnkTot),desc);
end

I'd be surprised if he doesn't fill up that reputation bar sometime soon to the point that he can't receive anymore.
