Help with a custom die

[ziggitycheese]

I've searched around and either my Google Fu is off, or more likely, I don't know enough to understand what I've found.

I want to make a custom die where the possible results are 0,0,1. Like a Fate Die but without the "-" Can someone assist me?

Much appreciated.

You wont be able to get the physical dice to display those.
You will be able to get the Chat result to show that.

There are several dice extensions - there is a funky dice extension and you can also look up the custom dice in CoreRPG for d3 and d2.

Don't really care what the dice look like when I'm rolling, I only care about the results outputted.

So from the look of it I can do this by adding this to my gameelements.xml in the .pak for
my ruleset, which would make a 1 or a 2 = 1 and a 3+ result in a 0. I'll test when I get home.

<customdie name="d001">
<model>d6</model>
<menuicon>customdice</menuicon>
<script>
function onValue(result)
if result >= 3 then
modresult = 0;
else
modresult = 1;
end
return modresult;
end
</script>
</customdie>

This worked.
Just because I hate finding a solved question that doesn't have the solution in it, here's what I ended up doing. Because I only wanted this single function for the die, I changed the Fate Die rather than make a custom die.

1.Made a copy of the ruleset I was wanting to edit, and renamed it.
2.In the copy, i edited the gameelements.xml file added this before between the </position> and </die> under the dF die:

<script>
function onValue(result)
if result == 1 then
modresult = 1;
else
modresult = 0;
end
return modresult;
end
</script>

3. Started a new Campaign using the copied ruleset I made.

This made it so the Default action of the Fate die was ignore the "-" and make it a 0 instead.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @Damned

Good start - but you do need to make it into an extension or you will either miss out on Ruleset updates or your change will be overwritten on an update.
