custom dice

[tarrasque]

hi

I am looking into the hollow earth expedition game by exile
https://www.exilegames.com/games/hex.html

it uses ubiqity dice which are 3 types of d8 as below

A: 0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1
B: 0,1,1,2,0,1,1,2
C: 0,1,1,2,1,2,2,3

checks are based on number of successes,
dice A for a single check, B for 2 checks, C for 3 checks, or multiples of the above

ie for a 5 dice check you can use 5 x A or 2 x B & 1 x A or 1 x B & 1 x C

obviously electronic dice alow you to break the physical constraints and have 16 siders for 4 checks and 32 siders for 5 checks et al

anyone know how i can do this in FG ?

I think the xml (in gameelements.xml) would look something like this:


<customdie name="DieA">
<model>d8</model>
<menuicon>customdice</menuicon>
<script>
function onValue(result)
return (result % 2);
end
</script>
</customdie>


Each different Die would obviously have a different script.

Then, the custom dice will be accessible from the d8 dice right-click menu.
