FG 2 LUA - Easy D20 skill/ability rolls

[Valarian]

Has anyone figured out how to get the cascade skill description displaying in the automatic die roll? I get the skill name, but not the entered description for cascade skills.

I have no idea what you're talking about.... what do you mean by cascading skill descriptions?

[Valarian]

The additional descriptions for Knowledge, Profession, Craft etc.
The bit that you type in.

Hi,

I tried to add the call to d20Check on the ChatManager at a higher level.
So I added the following function at the bottom of the scripts/template_linkednumber.lua

function onDoubleClick(x,y)
	if self.description == nil then
		ChatManager.d20Check("d20", getValue(), "Not Identified");
	else
		ChatManager.d20Check("d20", getValue(), self.description[1].text[1]);
      end
	return true;
end

so this adds the double click event to every linked number. Since a modifiernumber is also linked number this covers quite a bit. ability modifiers, saving throws, intiative, melee..

however for some reason the skill check total modifiers are not 'linked numbers' so it doesn't work there.

Some numbers don't have a description that's why there's an extra if statement.

Anyway .. it's only marginally useful....

cheers,
maarten

I found the code I needed for the cascade skills in the drag and drop functionality. This produces a roll description of, for example, Knowledge (Culture) instead of just Knowledge.

[EDIT]
In the charsheet_skills.xml file, add the following under the script section for the <numberfield name="total">

function onDoubleClick(x,y)
   local label = window.getDatabaseNode().getChild("label").getValue();
   local sublabel = window.getDatabaseNode().getChild("sublabel").getValue();
						
   local desc = label;
   if not sublabel or sublabel ~= "" then
      desc = label .. " (" .. sublabel .. ")";
   end
                        
   ChatManager.d20Check("d20", getValue(), desc);
   return true;
end

@valarian
Where do you put this new code ?
thank you

[Valarian]

Sorry ... this replaces the code in the charsheet_skills.xml file, under the script section for the <numberfield name="total">, posted by Joshuha in his original posting.

An enhancement for the chatmanager.lua to add functionality to roll multiple dice. Add it under the d20Check function.

function dieCheck(number, type, bonus, name)
    if control then
        local dice = {};
	for i = 1, number, 1 do
	    table.insert(dice, type);
        end
	control.throwDice("dice", dice, bonus, name);
    end
end

This can be called as follows in the script sections.

<script>
    function onDoubleClick(x,y)
       ChatManager.dieCheck(2, "d6", getValue(), window.influence.getValue());
       return true;
    end
</script>

Hello
in witch file must we add

<script>
function onDoubleClick(x,y)
ChatManager.dieCheck(2, "d6", getValue(), window.influence.getValue());
return true;
end
</script>

In the chatmanager.lua
or in In the charsheet_template.xml, the charsheet_skills.xml file,...
Thank you
