Roll based on numberfield

[pr6i6e6st]

Problem mostly solved. onto next steps:

1: get the name of the roll from dragdata to display in chat upon completion
2: get a "push" mechanic (add a level of stress, roll all dice again minus any 6's)

Like, i really don’t seem to grasp how scripting works, what’s a template and what’s native.

I basically just want

Function onDragStart()
nDice = stressroll.slot.amount.getValue()
tDie = getDice(“ dS ”)

For nDice do
dragdata.setDice((nDice*{tDie}))
End

Do a search (find in files) in various FG rulesets - search for "table.insert(aDice" in the 5E ruleset, for example, and there's an example where a number of dice are added to the aDice table:

		for i = 1, nHDMult do
			table.insert(aDice, "d" .. nHDSides);
		end

You can't just add multiple dice to the aDice table in one command (i.e. doing multipliers like dice*number) , you need to use a for loop to add each dice at a time. So, maybe try something like this:

		for i = 1, nDice do
			table.insert(aDice, "dS");
		end

But also keep in mind what I said here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post445975

Actually, a better search to get lots of examples is to search (find in files) for "table.insert(rRoll.aDice" in the 3.5E ruleset.

Actually, I believe you can.

aDice = { "d6", "dS", "d20" };

[pr6i6e6st]

Actually, I believe you can.

aDice = { "d6", "dS", "d20" };

That does work, but with static number of dice, where I need it to be a variable based on the number field you drag the dice from. Unless I’m missing something.

I’ll have to look later to see what I can find for the “for” function and determine if I know what the variable is for the number field. (In the instance I provided, I am to believe it’s “stressroll.slot.amount” as that works with the button_counter for the <sourcefield><current>

Here's an example out of the WOiN ruleset.

Very basically 'What's Old is New' builds a Dice Pool, you add your Stat + Skill + Modifier Dice and on top you can add Luck dice etc.

Here's the code, it reads from the 'Attack' field which is on the screen listed next to an attack (say a Pistol), then checks for Modifiers and then inserts the extra dice or removes them, as the Desktop +1, +2, -1, -2 are actual D6 to remove.

Hope this helps.

        local nTotal = attack.getValue().."d6";
	local aDice, nMod = StringManager.convertStringToDice(nTotal);
	
	-- add Modifier dice
	local bDescNotEmpty = true;
	local sStackDesc, nStackMod = ModifierStack.getStack(bDescNotEmpty);
		
	local modifierDice = nStackMod;

	if modifierDice > 0 then
            for i=1,modifierDice do
                table.insert(aDice, "d6");
            end
	else
	    for i=1,-modifierDice do
                table.remove(aDice);
            end
        end

I’ll have to give this a look, do I need to add any script.lua’s? Or are these available in CoreRPG?

See the second code block in post #3 above.

Yes, sorry, I meant to say I’ll need to check out what you’ve suggested.

[MadBeardMan]

Yes you will need to add it to the script wherever you 'build' your dice pool.
