7th Sea / Roll & Keep?

[Valarian]

You can replace the rolled dice list inside a die handler, intercepting the results and replacing them with a new die list for output to the chat message. This is what I do for Yggdrasill. Replace the rolled list (of 3 or 4 dice) with the sorted list (of 2 or 1). Inside the die handler, I choose the highest results to display to the chat log.

function handleSkillDice(rSource, rTarget, rRoll)
    local reroll = false;
    local total = {};
    
    local firstResult = 0;
    local secondResult = 0;
    local dicetable = rRoll.aDice;
    if dicetable then
      for n = 1, table.maxn(dicetable) do
        if dicetable[n].type == "d10" then
          if firstResult > 0 and dicetable[n].result > secondResult then

          end
        end
      end
    end
    
    if firstResult == 10 or secondResult == 10 then
      repeat
        local reroll = false;
        local dieRoll = math.random(1,10);
        local explode = {};
        explode.type = "d10";
        explode.result = dieRoll;
        table.insert(total, explode);
        -- Purely for effect - roll a d10
        local dice = {};
        table.insert(dice, "d10");
        Comm.throwDice("explode", dice, 0, "explode");
        if dieRoll == 10 then
          reroll = true;
        end
      until not reroll
    end
    
    local rMessage = ChatManager.createBaseMessage(rSource, rRoll.sUser);
    rMessage.type = rRoll.sType;
    rMessage.text = rMessage.text .. rRoll.sDesc;
    rMessage.dice = total;
    rMessage.diemodifier = rRoll.nMod;
    
    -- Check to see if this roll should be secret (GM or dice tower tag)
    if rRoll.bSecret then
      rMessage.secret = true;
      if rRoll.bTower then
        rMessage.icon = "dicetower_icon";
      end
    elseif User.isHost() and OptionsManager.isOption("REVL", "off") then
      rMessage.secret = true;
    end
    
    -- Show total if option enabled
    if OptionsManager.isOption("TOTL", "on") and total and #(total) > 0 then
      rMessage.dicedisplay = 1;
    end
  
    Comm.deliverChatMessage(rMessage);
    ModifierStack.reset();
    return true;
end

The issue I'm currently struggling with is the modifier stack. It seems to work for dragging the dice but not for the double-click (where I use Comm.throwDice instead of draginfo). I can't seem to create a draginfo object for the double-click function to use, and the separated throwDice function seems to clear and overwrite the modifier stack.

That example is how you usually do it, but in my case I want to truely intercept with existing handlers. For instance, you have 4E ruleset which implements "ability" handlers. What I wanted to do is intercept "ability" handlers by managing rolled dices as exploded ones and replace results with new ones, then let the flow continue in original handlers. I don't want to affect existing handlers at all, just apply interceptors between them. This way you could easily implement new dice interceptors such as exploding dices outside the core logic. However like mentioned, I was not able to succeed on this. Maybe I will double check since I cannot see reason why setDieList after onDiceLanded would kill this approach. Maybe it's something beyond visible API

Care to explain what your workaround is?

There wasn't one, really - I just got very offended by some rather insulting comments directed at me and the way the mods handled it and left the boards to cool off for a while.
Since this thread now shows up high on Google when simply looking for virtual tabletops supporting R&K, I figured I should probably clarify that.

Initiative remains the main stumbling block for automating this ruleset, and I'm contemplating using Tabletop Simulator of all things to handle it, possibly next to FG as a diceroller to help with the math overload R&K can cause.

Hello gurus - can anyone help me modify this script so that it displays the characters portrait and name when the roll is executed?
I can add the name but all other rolls also display the portrait and I cant work it out...

Im also trying to expand the /rnk to use any d?? that is passed to it and while that is a whole other story feel free to chime in if you have some pointers there too!
If you want the code at the point I have it to let me know...

Im pulling these into the MoreCore ruleset so they are more easily available.

Yes please

[damned]

Yes please

hey Spite - it can be found in MoreCore - the file you are looking for is:
/desktop/scripts/morecore_ikael_dicemechanics.lua
from memory this might also require:
/desktop/ikael_desktop_classes.xml

Thanks damned. I plan to try figuring this out this week. I hope you're all prepared for more questions when I inevitably break something.

Ask away but be warned Im not much good at Dice Rollers...
