Traveller Dice Help

Im trying to add a set of Traveller Dice to MoreCore.

It currently displays like this:

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...chmentid=17542

Im currently calculating the value of the dice as first dice * 10 + second dice
and I can output that fine in the Chat Description but I dont know how to tell the Dice Display to be
11 and not 2, or 26 and not 8 etc.

I will need this to be able to drag the result and have the drag data be correct.

function createChatMessage(rSource, rRoll)
local rMessage = ActionsManager.createActionMessage(rSource, rRoll);

rMessage.dicedisplay = 0; -- don't display total
local nVal = rRoll.aDice[1].result *10 + rRoll.aDice[2].result;
rMessage.text = "[Skill] " .. rMessage.text;
rMessage.text = rMessage.text .. "\n[Result] "..nVal.." \n[Target] not used yet";
return rMessage;
end

Any pointers please :)

Look at chatwindow.onDiceTotal event.

Thanks JPG - can you think of an example used anywhere?

No. I built the feature for something like this, but never needed for a core system. You get to be the guinea pig.

cheers,

Thank you! (I think) :)

Skill checks in Traveller don't use that mechanic. It's a straight 2d6, totaled, checked against a target number (usually 8).

Just about anything Traveller needs a larger sample from than 2-12. Examples would be cargoes, patrons, random encounters, etc. Large lots that 2-12 can't handle with enough granularity.

Now I might be missing something you need to do in the code, but back when I made a Traveller ruleset, I just made a custom d60 and then just called rRoll.aDice = { "d60","d6" };.

Thanks OTG_Wraith. What did you do for rolling the d60?

Ive got that working but I havent worked out how to grab the number of the real d6 and multiply by 60 in the dice results so Im throwing a 3d dF and generating my number from 10-60 programatically...

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...7&d=1485007427

If yours rolls a d6 and the 1s generate 10s etc Id love to see if the code is compatible with what Im doing...

Maybe I'm not following what you're asking precisely, but I am just doing what you did in the reply above...

Code:

---

        <customdie name="d60">
                <model>d6</model>
                <menuicon>customdice</menuicon>
                <script>
                        function onValue(result)
                                return result*10;
                        end
                </script>
        </customdie>

---

And then having the internal roll and die calls use the new d60 and an additional d6.

Are you asking how to trap for the d60 results individually in a d66 roll?
