Coin Flip?

[turelus]

I just had a quick and simple question, I have been fooling around with FGII for a while trying to figure out a simple way to make a coin flip other than rolling dice and saying 1-3 head 4-6 tails. I was just wondering if any one had ideas on how I could make a macro or anything that would come up either heads or tails with a 50% chance.

A custom die might do the trick. d2 is relatively easy to create, using the same code as d3 but based on d4 instead of d6 (edit game_elements.xml):


<customdie name="d2">
<model>d4</model>
<menuicon>customdice</menuicon>
<script>
function onValue(result)
return math.ceil(result/2);
end
</script>
</customdie>


Getting 'heads' or 'tails' to appear on the screen requires additional messing about with onDiceLanded in the chat scripts.

Would be adding the heads and tails option be far more work than its worth or would it be a pretty simple change?

Thanks for the reply btw :D

It becomes much more ruleset-specific. If you are using the bundled d20 ruleset, adjusted only for this change, then it would be quite easy. If you are using a custom ruleset it might be quite difficult. Custom rulesets often have their own onDiceLanded code, which you must be careful not to disturb.
